Don't Quit...!

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road your trudging seem all uphill,
When the funds are low and debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if u must but don't u 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 victors cup,
And he learnt 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 worse that you must not QUIT!!!

Why is it so hard?????

God,
Why is it so hard to get close to people,
to let people get close to me....
Is it because I've been hurt before and
I'm afraid that I'll be vulnerable again?
Is it because I think others will take
advantage of my  openness...
Your son had twelve close friends...
one sold him for 30 pieces of silver
Another denied that he never knew him...
The rest ran away when he needed them most..
Jesus predicted these things yet he did not
shut himself off from friendship
Make me willing to take the risk too...
Help me realize that ultimately in opening  to
another human being
we are opening ourselves to you....
