on a fading day <br />between your busy hour and that moment <br />when you want to stop <br />or quit <br /> <br />you stand in front of a mirror <br />and ask yourself: is this worth it? <br /> <br />there is this voice which says <br />you must quit, you have had enough <br />there is no use <br />of another day <br /> <br />you stare and another image stares back at you <br />it is worth it <br />there is no justification to quit <br />you make <br />a difference <br /> <br />then you tighten your belt and with your hands <br />you iron out what is creased <br />you promise <br />you will go neat with life <br />you will finish what you have started <br />the voice comes assuredly like a <br />conscience <br />you make a difference <br />you are not a quitter <br />you are a winner.<br /><br />RIC S.
