Getting By With a Little Help From My Friends

Greetings,

A friend of mine who only recently came into my life (a friendship that I value more than she is likely aware of) posted something on her Facebook the other day that quite literally moved me. I was intending to wait a little bit and post this next week or so... but I couldn't wait. Take a read. I'm sure you'll see what I mean.

Persist... Persist...

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
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 twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won if he’d 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 slipped 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.

Wow.

We all hit hard times. We all have moments where we think it would be best to just let it go and try something new. Bookmark this post. When you feel that way Please come back and take a look at it.
