“Carry On! Carry On!”

"The journey of life"

There isn’t much punch in your blow,
You’re glaring, staring and hitting out blind;
You’re muddy and bloody, but never mind
Carry On! Carry On!
 
You haven’t the ghost of a show
It’s looking like death, but while you’ve a breath
Carry On! Carry On!
 
And so in the strife of the battle of life
It’s easy to fight when you’re winning;
It’s easy to slave, and starve and be brave
When the dawn of success is beginning.
But the man who can meet despair and defeat
With a cheer, there’s a man of God’s choosing;
The man who can fight to heaven’s own height
Is the man who can fight when he’s losing
 
Carry On! Carry On!
Things never were looming so black
But show that you haven’t a cowardly streak,
And though you’re unlucky you never  are weak.
 
Carry On! Carry On!
Brace up for another attack
It’s looking like hell but you never can tell
Fight the good fight and true,
Believe in your mission, greet life with a cheer;
There’s big work to do, and that’s why you’re here.
 
Carry On! Carry On!
Let the world be the better for you,
And at last when you die, let this be your cry.
Carry On! Carry On!

I wrote this poem to whoever was/is currently dealing with some tragic challenges of life, I also want to emphasize theme that says "anything is possible". I am still young (18 years) but I can confidently say that I've dealt with so many things within the journey of my life which taught me diverse strategies to come across with my life's disruptive moments. I also encourage other young minds like me out there to believe in themselves, to make progress in their individual dreams and of course to never look back.
