DON'T QUIT

I received this poem from a friend the other day, and I thought it was nice enough that I would share it. Many years ago, when I suffered from depression, a very special man gave me some good advice. One of the things he used to say to me was to "get through today and worry about tomorrow when it comes" ...and honestly no truer words have been spoken. It may sound simplistic but these words have kept me going when I thought my life was over, and I didn't know where I would find the strength to carry on. Hope you like this poem as much as I did ......


Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road your trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low, and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit.
It's when things seem worse that you must not quit.

have a great weekend all....

As always, to be continued.........
