You Can

Make It

Never give up, never say die,

If you'll read on, I'll tell you why.

It's always darkest just before the dawn,

These stirring slogans could go on and on.

You've all heard this little story no doubt,

Two frogs fell in cream and couldn't get out.

One frog yelled "Help!" but when nobody came,

He sighed, "Oh dear, 'tis the end of the game."

Then gulped in one last, big, breath of fresh air,

And sank underneath in complete despair.

But his friend was made of much sterner stuff,

"I'll admit this situation looks tough"

He said, "but I'm just not ready to die...

I think I'll give escape a real good try."

Not one word of complaint did he utter,

Just kicked and kicked, then climbed out on butter.

Now tell me which of these frogs was smarter.

If you don't know which, well you sure oughter.

Sometimes situations in life seem grim,

But just keep "kicking" when things look dim.

Keep praying and striving... never give in

And like that little frog, I'm sure you'll win!
