My favourite Poem

I love poetry...though I seem to have lost the touch that once allowed my pen to dance across the pages to beautiful words. Maybe I'll find my muse and my inspiration again...

But for today, I'll just share this poem, often seen in inspirational posters. Whoever the poet is/was, he or she , is a wise person.



When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're 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 turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns.
And many a fellow 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.


Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man.
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's 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 afar.
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

Times are certainly tough now...and even the world affairs are shaky. We are bracing ourselves for tough times ahead. But if we learn to take what's to come with a positive stance...will be be able to ride it out.

To F...whose life now seems to be filled with endless challenges, hang on ...hang on...I can't offer much but my prayers for your safety...but things happen for a reason...so never lose hope.

To my 'sweeties'...thank you. You have made me feel alive again...and I'll try to help you through as much as I can.

I have found my new kids this year...and they are really special people.
