Never Give Up

When I consider how my  life is  spent 
After long  years in this dark world and wide 
In trying to find that    special talent 
Wherein I could take  pardonable pride 
But  now  I have to contemplate defeat 
There is no spark,no inspiration there
From my  quest,I must consider retreat 
A bitter frown is all I have to wear 

Not much time now  is left for me to yearn 
Life will soon see me off on my sad way
For the recognition I wish   to earn 
I lack the gift for which I oft did pray
But my eager  heart urges that I must 
Go on  until I turn to  dreaded  dust
