Never Give Up
In that dark lonesome place
between a dream dreamed
and a dream realized,
I have left a little light for you
so you will know that someone cares
and believes in your dream.
Just where it becomes the most dark
and difficult to find your way,
there is the light I left for you.
It will light your way,
through the doubt, the confusion,
and the fears,
It will stay with you
all the way to the realization
of your dream.
And when your dream has come true,
please go back to that darkest place
where you have been,
And set the little light there to give heart
to the next sweet soul that braves the path
to his or her dreams.
Dreamers are the architects of greatness.
There wisdom lies within their souls.
Dream long enough and hard enough
and your dream can be attained.
Good day wishes.

Beautiful Poem Shijit.. Thanks for sharing..!!
Here is one from my collections on a similar note.. :icon1:
If You Think..
If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you won't.
If you like to win, but don't think you can,
It's almost a cinch that you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you've lost,
For out in the world you'll find
Success begins with a person's will;
It's all in the state of mind.
For many a game is lost
Before even a step is run
And many a coward fails
Before his work is begun.
Think big and your deed will grow;
Think small and you will fall behind.
Think that you can and you will;
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think that you are out-classed, you are;
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of yourself
Before you can win the prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the strongest or fastest man
But sooner or later the person who wins
Is the person who thinks she can."

Thanks Hima,
There is one more similar one titled 'IF' by Ruyard Kipling. Thought of sharing with you.
If...
by Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!
Regards,
Shijit.
