It's Knot Over

 

Hang in There

“When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot “, they would say,

This is a popular cross-stitched saying, back in the day,

Whatever does that mean anyway?

Well, if you have had enough and you feel you can’t go on,

This is encouragement to persevere:  Don’t give up:  Be strong,

Tie a knot.  Grab a hold!

Consider the alternative…  Be Bold!

It seems our country has reached their “end of rope”,

But with no resolution in sight, we must have hope,

Hope is the “knot” we must hang onto,

Although many may be too weary to do so,

The rope has been long and scary to descend,

If we put our feet on the knot, can’t we hold on until the end?

Yes, yes we can!  Believe it to be true,

There is hope and a future for me and for you,

Different knots serve many purposes for all of us,

Used by climbers, fishermen, sailors, and thus:

Slip knots, square knots, surgeon’s knots and hitches,

What is the best knot for our country’s glitches?

The Love Knot
