RE: This life
A friend sent me this poem many years ago when I myself was about to give up. I hope it will give you some hope like it did to me.
DON'T QUIT
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When 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 twist and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learn,
And many a fellow turns about,
When he/she 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 goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering woman or man.
Often the struggler has given up,
When he/she might have captured the victors cup;
And they learned too late, when the night came down,
How close they came 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 afar.
So, stick to the fight, when your hardest hit,
It's When things seem worst that you
MUST NOT QUIT!
Father in heaven I come in agreement in prayer for this child of yours, give them your peace and the strength they need till this storm ends. In Jesus merciful and mighty name I pray amen.
