Looking for short poems or one page stories
 

I'm looking for uplifting short poems or one page stories to read at PD support group......Thank you

No one has any positive reading material to share?

My Dad gave me this years ago, always liked it....Good for life in general and Parkinsons hope as well.

Don't Quit

Don't Quit no matter what!

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When 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 its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won if he'd stuck it out.
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man;
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

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 afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

Almost any chapter in my book would work for your group. The book is if I can climb Kilimanjaro, why can I brush my teeth?

Two of my favorite poems are 1. Invictus 2. Crossing the Bar (Tennyson ?)

and a few limericks that I can't post.
