Don’t Die Before Your Death

When the road seems long and steep,
And the mountain feels too high to leap,
When doubts cloud your every thought,
And success feels too far, too hard to be caught,

Remember, it’s the struggle that makes you strong,
Every step you take, though slow, will belong.
Each challenge faced, each lesson learned,
Is a victory, a fire brightly burned.

Don’t let setbacks pull you down,
Wear persistence like a crown.
For every fall, there’s a rise,
A new chance to touch the skies.

The path may twist, the winds may roar,
But with hard work, you’ll open the door,
To the dreams you hold deep inside,
Where hope and courage forever reside.

Keep your focus, stay on track,
The rewards will come, there’s no turning back.
It’s not about speed, nor perfect grace,
But the determination to stay in the race.

The hours you spend, the effort you give,
Will shape the life in which you live.
Every lesson, every test,
Is a building block to your best.

So, never give up, no matter the pace,
With hard work and grit, you’ll win the race.
When you push through the toughest of times,
You’ll discover the strength that always shines.

Remember, the journey is worth the fight,
So work hard, dream big, and aim for the light.
Your future awaits, bright and clear,
So never give up—keep moving forward, year after year.
