These are some words I found encouraging in difficult times. God bless all those having a tough time of it now. You are in our prayers.

Don't Quit

Don't quit when the tide is the lowest,
For it's just about to turn;

Don't quit over doubts and questions,
For there's something you may learn.

Don't quit when the night is darkest,
For it's just a while 'til dawn;

Don't quit when you've run the farthest,
For the race is almost won.

Don't quit when the hill is steepest,
For your goal is almost nigh;

Don't quit, for you're not a failure
Until you fail to try.

    Dear Barb,

    I love the poem. Thank you for sharing it with us.

    I will take it to my cancer support group tonight. One of our members is losing his battle with lung cancer and I think he would appreciate the poem's message.

    Hugs,

    Kay
