never give up
One day two frogs fell into a bowl of cream.
They called for help but despite their screams
No-one came to help their plight.
One just despaired and gave up life's fight,
Slowly succumbing to his body so tired,
Sinking to the bottom and thus, expired.
But the other frog was committed to life.
He swam and swam and despite the strife.
Backwards and forwards he struggled and turned,
Not knowing that cream to butter churned.
The butter firmed the layers on top
On which he could crawl and then he could hop.
He hopped to safety and great fame,
For, from his exploits, a moral came.
That when it seems that all is bleak,
Just mark time, time to seek
Another way out or wait for back-up.
Put trust in life and never give up

the doctor's thoughts .........
There are times when we all want to give up, call it a day, feeling hopeless, worthless, useless or just plain tired or fed up. I have been there and given up too. But I have watched and learned from people and patients who stick in there and have an inner knowing that something will come along and help them, that the tide will turn. A friend's son was desperate to be an artist. His dad told him to get a real job. He has struggled, working washing up pots, picking fruit, and labouring to make enough money to survive. He painted relentlessly the rest of the time. After over 10 years he has just won a prestigious award and can now sell his painting for a handsome profit. He gives me hope for my poetry!
