"DON'T QUIT"
written by author unknown
*(note)
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will.
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low, and 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 queer with the twists and turns,
AS everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out:
Don't give up through the pace seems slow.
You may succeed with another blow.
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 so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worse,
that you must not quit.
*Upon doing our research we have found that the author is unknown, and
written as far back as in the 1900's and not copyrighted by any known
author. The poem is not written by any current author, and it is
questionable that it is a St. Jude's prayer as claimed. It has been found
and placed on a St. Jude's holy card, as with the Christian faith. As A
Catholic, I know and have seen that Holy cards are used of saints, Jesus,
Mother Mary, Angels and such with inspirational poetry, information and in
some case of diseased love ones information being placed on the back, to
name a few. I personally came across this poem in 1977 when it was given to
me by a friend in my time of need, so I pass it on to others in sharing the
special gift of this poem and the truly inspirational words it holds. Rose

"LOVE IS A CIRCLE"©
By Manny Feldman
Love is a circle, warm as summer sun,
Making flowers blossom, after winter done.
Love is a circle, coming back to you,
When your love is given, with a hear that is true.
Love is a circle, going up then down,
Reaching to the heavens, returning to the ground.
Like a wheel that's turning a carousel of joy,
Love has a returning which only time can tell.
It may take a lifetime, an hour or a day,
But after love is given, love will find a way.
Love is a circle, take my hand my friend,
Love is a circle, love will never end.
Love is a circle, going round and round,
Reaching out to touch you, music all around.
Love is a circle, setting people free,
Love is a circle, love is you and me.
Love, once it is given, has no end,
Circling forever thru all time.
Bringing love wherever man may be,
Going on for all eternity.
