DON’TQUIT

By Janice B. Picardo
Life is a sunrise at times
you are gloomy,
A drop of hope when you
are dreary;
Hence it can be a sunset after a
tiring day
A pinch of courage to fight the
obstacles along your way.
 Life takes you to wander,
But makes you sad under;
It will make you blue and
miserable
So, please, stay kind and humble..
Life teaches you to grow,
And leads you to defeat
sorrow;
 It will make you great, noble
and wonderful
Thus, create a life that’s indeed
beautiful.
