I Will Not Give Up



If only out of stubbornness
I will not give up
My curiosity I guess
Still wants to live up
To what I dreamed of long ago
What was then begun
In me is not to be undone

For me to come true
I am to do the thing I know
Now to answer yes
To life when it comes asking me
Tasking me to do
What I do better every day
In my stubborn way

After living down so long I
Find myself to be
More interested in the sky
Now than formerly
Better late than never no less
Than the best of me
For the rest of my reason why

I will not give up
But live up to the vision of
What I learned by love
My curiosity I guess
And by stubbornness
To what I dreamed of long ago
But that now I know
