Wit's End
Did you ever have one of those days,
weeks, months, or years,
when every thing you did turned sour,
resulting in your greatest fears?
Have you ever worked so hard it hurt,
straining your brain for a solution;
Only to find through all your trials,
that all your effort was a delusion?
Have you ever reached for the stars,
getting stuck halfway to Mars?
Your mighty rocket falling short,
trapped in a orbit, a jail without bars?
Well, friend, we've all been there.
When our best efforts aren't enough.
When we have to either give up,
or stick it out and really get tough.
Giving up will ease our mind,
lower our blood pressure a bit,
and a sense of peace we'll find,
with a gnawing sense of failure on it.
Getting tough may hit a brick wall,
the harder you try the greater you fall.
Or, you may just finally break through,
with a sense of satisfaction in it all.
If it weren't for your last wit,
you wouldn't have any wit at all.
It is better to have struggled,
then to have never taken a fall.
And so, my friend, give it your all,
you never know when you'll break through,
and you'll be able to stand very tall.

Nelson Mandela used it too... what an example of staying the course! He changed history and showed us all that its not how many times we have fallen that matter, but how many times we get up and keep going..
Great write!

Ron was kind enough to send me a sneak peek of his memoir.
He has taken everything life has thrown and him and more...
and gotten back up off the floor every time. The writing is
probably his best. No punches pulled. It's brilliant!
Some time I visited your site. You are standing tall.

Hang in there, buddy!
