Analysis of Never Give Up

Marty Francom 1952 (Illahee)



In the realm of words and tales untold,
Where narratives of life and dreams unfold,
Remember this, my friend, in all their glories,
Bad chapters craft the most astonishing stories.

In the labyrinth of choices, paths we tread,
Sometimes we wander where shadows spread,
Yet amidst the chaos, in unexpected spaces,
Wrong paths can unveil life's hidden graces.

Failed dreams may haunt our restless nights,
But in their wake, the soul takes flight,
For from the ashes of what once seemed dire,
Successful people emerge, their spirits on fire.

In life's enigmatic dance, we often sway,
Losing our way in the light of day,
But fear not, for in the depths of night,
We find ourselves, bathed in newfound light.

So cherish the stumbles, the falls, the strife,
They're the elements that shape our life,
For within each setback, we're reborn anew,
A resilient spirit, stronger, tried, and true.

For bad chapters create stories profound,
Wrong paths lead to treasures yet to be found,
Failed dreams, they fuel the determined heart,
In losing ourselves, we find our truest part.

So never give up, for there is beauty to be found,
In every twist and turn, on life’s ever changing ground.

My descendants need to know what my philosophies are, political and cultural. So, he created some short stories and poems on various subjects that interested him. more…
