Encouragement Poem by ART PAUL SCHLOSSER

Encouragement is the syrup that makes
You want to eat the pancake
It's sugar
It's salt
It's cheese
Sometimes it's the words please

Soft words from a nice voice
Maybe a friend
Telling that you can
When you've almost given up
The Sergeant can be rough
But he/she is only trying to make you more tough

But if you can't find a friend
Or anyone
To tell you that you can
Have a library
Of books to set you free
