“Don’t Quit”

Edgar A. Guest

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,

When the funds are low but 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 strange with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many failures turn about

When we might have won had we stuck it out.

Don’t give up though the pace seems slow –

You may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out –

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

You can never tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems so far;

So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit –

It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

 

In darkest hour, when shadows fall, Do not surrender, stand tall. For every stumble, every tear, Strength emerges, banishing fear.

Though roads be rugged, rough and long, Keep pushing forward, stay strong. The challenges may seem too steep, But resilience runs deep.

When dreams are shattered, hope feels lost, Remember, failures come at no small cost. With determination as your guide, New horizons you’ll surely stride.

Don’t let setbacks define your fate, For perseverance will elevate. Rise above the doubts and strife, Embrace the journey, claim your life.

When storms unleash their mighty roar, Anchor your spirit on hope’s shore. With unwavering faith and steadfast will, Conquer mountains, fulfill your skill.

In moments dark, when skies are gray, Believe in yourself, find your own way. For in the face of trials, you’ll find, Unyielding strength within your mind.

So, do not waver, do not yield, In the face of trials, never shield. With resilience as your trusted guide, Embrace the challenge, never hide.

 

When shadows cast their somber hue, And doubts whisper, “You can’t get through,” Summon the fire that burns within, And let your spirit fiercely begin.

For in each fall, a lesson lies, A chance to learn, to truly rise. Gather the fragments, piece by piece, Build a stronger soul, find your release.

When all seems lost and hope feels thin, Remember the power held within. Draw from the well of courage deep, And sow the seeds of dreams you’ll reap.

When the world says “No,” defy the norm, Ignite the fire, let passion swarm. For greatness lies beyond the veil, When determination cannot fail.

When roadblocks halt your forward stride, Pause, reflect, and then decide, To navigate a different way, Uncharted paths where possibilities sway.

In the face of darkness, seek the light, Embrace the challenge with all your might. With grit and faith, you’ll forge a way, To brighter skies and a brand-new day.

So, don’t surrender, don’t retreat, In every setback, victory’s sweet. Hold onto hope, let it ignite, And soar beyond the highest height.

For in the heart that refuses to break, Resides the strength no trial can shake. Keep moving forward, don’t look back, And conquer the world, stay on track.

(Unfortunately I can’t find the authors who wrote the above two poems. I love them and want to credit these poets. if anyone can help I would be very grateful)

This poem, I wrote myself. It was for a friend who was going through cancer treatment. I hope it helps others too.

HOPE

You have to believe, that all will be right

In the longest of days and the coldest of nights

You may feel scared, tired and alone

But there’s always someone to carry you home

Someone who knows the pain that you feel

The raw and relentless, cruel and real

It comes like a cloud covering the sky

There are no answers, just why? why? why?

But we are strong together, and a day will come

When the clouds part and welcome the sun

So take hold of that sunbeam, don’t let it leave

Clasp it tightly, but let yourself grieve

Then slowly but surely  release your grasp

Let the light enter  and swallow the past

And then for a second your heart will feel light

And strength will replace it, to continue the fight

Just like the sunbeam you cannot hide

But weather the storm with  hope on your side
