Analysis of Do Not Relent Your Efforts !



Ah, friend, will you loose faith?
Will you loose your brilliant colours?

No, fade not!
Were you not the fearless soldier
we once praised?
Were you not the ambitious fellow
we once acknowledged?

Have you degenerated so easily?
Have you lost your zeal to prosper?
Have you succumbed to defeat?

Do not be dismayed
Do not be discouraged
Be encouraged!
Keep on trying

Success is knocking
On your door
Only
Only
Keep on trying!
Hold fast!
