Some days it is such a struggle to hang in


Poem Artwork

Don't Give Up


 


Though you are very tempted


Be true to self


Hang in there, fight the fight


 


You know you can


For you are strong


Look what you have done


And the you, you have become


 


Don't give up


Keep pressing on


Step by step, one day at a time


Don't give up

Life is such a beauty at times....even within daily struggles one finds who they truly are. Your poem gives much to reflection, whether of oneself or of the immensecity of this world, we are but a mist of the universe and a portion of time...yet there are bigger things than life....there is our spirit, our souls, hearts, minds....and there is, Our God...





live well, Karen.....enjoy the moments.

Karen thank you for those words," Look at what you've done and the you, you have become". I told someone a few short minutes ago, to always use their hearts and if others can't accept it then they have a problem. Thank you Karen, wise advice.

This is such an important message that we need over and over again. Many lives have gone sour because someone did give up. Sometimes a favorable change is just around the corner. Thanks.

The Ghost of Mavis by Mary Lynn Plaisance

Mavis asked, "Am I a ghost again? I don't remember being a ghost, but I know I was." Do you believe in reincarnation?
