Remember This When You Want to Quit

Poetry Sunday

When you are running on empty; and you can’t change, resist or fight. May you find the courage to be still.

When your back is against the wall, and you are fraught with fears and doubts. May you find the trust to lay down your burdens.

When you look beside you, ahead of you, behind you, and all you see is failure and obstacles. May you find hope in possibility.

When it's dark out, and the night feels weighted with troubles, May you find rest that renews your strength.

When the sun shines, and the day seems bright with strive, May you dare to hold on.

When it’s pouring, and the wetness seeps into your psyche, May love warm and fill your heart.

When thunderclaps, and drowns the sound of your loved ones, May your memories comfort and soothe you.

When the doors keep slamming shut, and the rejection lays open on your side, May your spirit be filled with fortitude.

When the bills keep piling, and the money keeps sinking, May your ideas renew and blossom.

When the hours fly past, and progress drags inch by inch, May time be a gift that keeps giving.
