Moving On (poem)

A poem dedicated to  friends on another site but let me also share this piece with you..

Feels like a crumpled paper?

And then thrown into the water..

You might be crushed and whipped...

But waste no time on grief.

You may think the good old  days are through

And this time you have to say ‘adieu’

But never dwell on the pain,

Don’t let anger and sadness reign.

Though our trials may cut like sword.

But take heed to these words

Whatever happens to me and you...

We will never  lose our true value.

Stand up now with head up high.

You need not know  the reasons why.

Open your mind and see the good.

Keep feet on the ground as you would.

Keep Swimmin'

It's like saying 'Hang in there!' 

or 'Keep on going!'

..even sometimes things aren't going so well.

keep swimmin'....

just be good and fair!

Life takes persistence..

patience...
hope...
courage...

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: 

Make the most of yourself for that is all there is to you. 

Remember:

Sitting still and wishing 

Made no person great; 

The good Lord sends the fishing, 

but you must dig the bait.

Life's Like That!

With few words, I just hope these images  

would speak for themselves.

And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary. ~Galatians 6:9

By the way, see the second part here.
and the third

Don't Give Up

There'll be tough times - the times when we get discouraged and  tempted to give up.

I saw this inspiring quote from a book one afternoon. I've decided to create an artwork  and make the post together with the other  quotes listed below :  

Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength. ~author unknown 

Achievement seems to be connected with action. Successful men and women keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit. ~Conrad Hilton 

Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent. ~Marilyn Vos Savant 

Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way. ~Satchel Paige 

Defeat may test you; it need not stop you. If at first you don't succeed, try another way. For every obstacle there is a solution. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. The greatest mistake is giving up. ~author unknown
