Never Give Up

written by: Bob Laurie

@boblaurie757

Never give up, don’t ever give up
It’s the secret to success and has no part in luck

The road that we start will always have an end
Your goals and your dreams are around the next bend

The love in your heart will help you to proceed
Patience and faith are also what you’ll need

So, when you want to quit just give a little smile
And know that success is only one more mile

Never give up make sure you see it through
If only you would try, you’ll know it to be true

Never look back on failures of the past
Never look ahead and wonder if you can last

Instead, hurdle today the obstacles that you see
And never, never ever say I’m doing this just for me

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:

Make your dreams non-negotiable by never giving up.

Bob Laurie

It took a while for Bob to know where he wanted to go with his writing. He’s always loved thrillers, but didn’t understand why they never include an inspirational message that can uplift the reader after the suspense is over. Bob endeavors to achieve that in his writing and hopes his novels stand out because of it. Bob also writes inspirational short Stories and Poems.

Condoms by Seán Óg Ó Murchú

They all laughed at me. All the dinner ladies. It started with your one, I’m after forgetting her name now… Smelly Nelly’s ma. A wet little tear trickled toward her tattooed cheekbone. She was roaring red. Her harsh, wheezing laughter sounded like a black taxi tackling the Whiterock Road, her throat destroyed from all the fegs she used to be hoofing into her. She called over the other dinner ladies then, an army of them. Or maybe it was the curiosity of her horrid laughing that brought them over… I can’t remember.
“Tell the girls what you’re only after asking me there ni wee mawn.”
I looked between herself and the girls. Jesus Christ, I said in my own mind, Mental Mick is after stealing all my crayons that I’d been hoarding for myself there before the break...
