    Don't Quit!

    I found a poem online that I want to share with you all, it is a powerful poem and it helped me when I wanted to quit. If you yourself or you know someone who is in need of a bit of extra encouragement, then I ask that you send them to to hear for it may encourage them to keep them going, because it gave me a reason to keep fighting and not give up. Here is the poem for you to enjoy.

    Don't Quit
    Author Unknown

    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 you quit.

    Life is queer with its twists and its turns,
    As everyone of us sometimes learns,
    And many a failure turns about
    When they might have won, had they stuck it out.
    Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
    You may succeed with another blow.

    Often the struggler has given up
    When he might have captured the victors cup;
    And he learned too late when the night came down,
    How close he was to the golden crown.

    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 your hardest hit,
    It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit!

    You mustn't quit no matter how hard things are, because at the end of every darkness there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

    I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do. I believe that beauty magazines promote low self esteem. I believe you can't appreciate real love till you've been burned. I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye. I believe you can't control or choose your ***uality. I believe that trust is more important than monogamy. I believe that family is worth more than money or gold. I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires.

      Hello Megan. Thx for sharing the poem. I agree that religion can really help many people. I have seen many people show improvement because of their belief's.

      I promise not to discriminate against your religion( or anyone else's) as long as my religon is not discriminated against either. Take Care. paul m

              Hello Megan. You did not have to edit out your belief's(at least as far as I'm concerned) . I firmly believe that religion works wonders for some people. I am always glad to hear how someone was helped , whether it be by religion or green tea.

              I sometimes advise people to join a church in order to find a sense of belonging and fellowship. However I do have my own views and once in a while I print them. I sometimes find people less tolerant about my views, than their own. Take Care. paul m
