NEVER OVER

  Although my mind may heave heavy sighs

Although everything may appear very blight

Although I may seem to lose the battle with desires

I will succeed, I will succeed, I succeed.

 It's never over until I die

No matter how hard the strife

It's never over until I win

Even if winning involves weaning.

I will give the whole of my life

 My life, - the precious gift of God

 I will give the whole of my time

My time, the precious gift of creation

I will give the  whole of my being

My being, the precious gift of life

I will make my life a gift to everyone I meet.
