Courage and Cancer

Let me tell you a little more about my reasons for creating these Blogs:

I want to support all those people who have, or have had cancer; all those who love and wish to support them; your workmates who don't know what to do, what to say.

There will also always be ideas here for people who, like myself, share a world view that includes giving to others, helping them achieve their life’s desire; whether that’s in their personal or business life.

So I want these posts to offer inspiration, uplifting thoughts and ideas. Short items. Perhaps a copy of one of my ‘life poems’. Sometimes something for you to laugh at.

I’m sure anyone who has the ideals I’ve written about above, will find something to identify with in today’s poem.


FOR THOSE WHO KEEP WORKING  (through the storm)
 

How do you cope
when coping’s all you can do

when the job calls
and you love your job
‘though the cost is great

How do you work
when work’s what you want
your workmates want you back
smile when you’re there
tell you the inspiration you are
to them – who think they wouldn’t cope
if they were you

How do you live
when your greatest memories
are of living life to the hilt
knowing each day’s a wonder
‘cause you know this more than ever
under the threat of it
being taken away

You work by working
            when you can
You cope by coping
            each day at a time
You live with gusto
even on your bad days
because after all, today and today and today
is all any of us are granted

and work and life
are one
‘specially when you work
with people who are friends
and who love to hear you say
I love this job
I’ll cope
