Jarrett often quotes scripture and poetry. Today he posted the “Don’t Quit” poem from British-born American poet Edgar Albert Guest, which was written in early 1921. You can see the full poem below.
Jarrett posted “#Dad” at the end of the poem.
Jarrett also took to his Instagram Stories on Tuesday with a treadmill clip from the gym in Hendersonville, TN. He used “#DAD” as the caption to that post. Jarrett then posted another Instagram Stories post this afternoon,from a gym in San Antonio, TX, and also used “#DAD” as the caption.
