The Journey

The journey we make
during this life,
can be short.
Do we continue on
or do we abort?

Mario Benedetti wrote a beautiful poem called "Don't Give up" which has been a favorite of mine. This is the translation of one of it's stanzas:

"Don't give up, please don't give way,
Even if the cold burns,
Even if fear bites,
Even if the sun sets,
And the wind goes silent,
There is still fire in your soul
There is still life in your dreams"........
