Don't Quit... Dedicated to Kits4Kids Foundation

This post is dedicated to...

and to all the caregivers, teachers, parents and family members of those with special needs...

written by the voice of ADHD and Bipolar Disorder...
The road less taken

we took not by our choice

but ordained to us

the path that you've wanted us to take

just like anybody else

we find it difficult to cope.

It's a journey

a dull and difficult journey to many

don't quit on us as we've never given up

stay with us and walk with us

it may seem weary but press on with us

for the journey is long.

As the saying goes,"There's always a light at the end of the tunnel."

"Yes, we do believe in that, too."

Don't quit on us when we couldn't follow your tempo

we may be slow, but we're moving at our own pace,

we may slur in our speech, but we're communicating with you,

we may stumble and fall, but we're taking a bold step forward

Don't quit on us...

Life is a challenge
Ours is a challenge even in simple things

We think differently

We're in our own world

It's a 90-degree climb

Climb with us for the journey will be sweet

We learn new things from you

and we bet you learn more from us

Don't quit before we reach the peak.

Every laughter is accompanied by yours,

Every move is made better with yours,

Every tear is wiped away with your hands,

Every cry is an echo to our frustration,

Don't quit on us when the day seems dull and empty.

Don't compare us with anybody else

We're special for God made us so

The fun and excitement that others may bring to you

We might not do so but we will cheer you up

In our own ways

Don't quit on us when we need you most.

The world is evil but ours is not

We paint our world with different colours

Flowers bloom at every move we make

We hope you will see our small improvement

Like how the flowers bloom

Don't quit on us when we do not reach your expectation.

When things go downhill, do not fret

We're doing fine with just a little hiccup

Rally with us and we'll be okay

Don't quit on us when we take a slide down

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all up-hill,

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 quit;

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As everyone of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about,

When he might have won had he stuck it out,

Don't give up, though the pace seems slow.

You may succeed with another blow.

Of ten 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 in the clouds of doubt.

And you can never 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.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

[2 Timothy 4:7]
