Don't Quit
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you are trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low but the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit.....
Rest if you must, but don't you quit!
Life is peculiar with its twists and tursn,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many failures turn about,
When we might have won...had we stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow...
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the vitor's cup;
And learned too late when the night came down,
Success is failure turned inside out..
And you can never tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems far.
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.
