Member-only story
A poem about trying
Believe it or not
Time begins to take its toll
Your body just won’t move like it used to
Your back aches
Your legs burn
Your will to do is all you’ve got
Not a lot yet enough to give you hope
That rope is still long enough to hang yourself
Can you muster up enough strength
to do something your age says, “You can’t!”
Why not give it a try
Run a marathon
Or jog ten miles a day
Do fifty pushups
Or 25 sit-ups
Give it a try
Don’t just cry
There’s no lie when you try
Take your best shot
You’ll be glad you did.
(A poem from the Wolrad collection #268)
