An invigorating poem of hope by Sarala, in Different Truths.

When you start loving someone 
Never give up love for the sake of others criticisms 
The world moves on criticism on its own axis 
But never give up on your love 
It will be a loss to your heart 
Never give up!
When you start a new project 
And find the going tough 
You have all reasons to give up 
Which will be to others benefit 
Never give up!
In hope and dream, we live 
Our life is precious and blissful 
Chase after your hopes and dreams 
Till you reach your goal!
Never give up!
It’s very easy to give up 
But very tough to regain 
When the going is tough 
A tendency sprouts in our heart 
I can’t go on and on 
Let me rest a while 
This thought keeps on n on 
And suddenly you call it a day
Vultures are waiting for 
This to harvest on your plight 
Don’t give up 
Climb the mountain in slow pace 
You are sure to reach the top 
Never give up 
You are fighting cancer 
Doctors lose hope and throw their hands up 
Have faith in your Creator 
You will survive for sure 
Never give up!
