Don't Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will

When the road you're trudging seems all uphill.

 

When the funds are low and the debts are high

And you want to smile but you have to sigh.

 

When care is pressing you down abit

Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

 

Life is full of twist and turns,

as everyone of u sometimes learns.

 

Many a failure turns about

when he might have won had he stuck it out.

 

Don’t give up though the pace seems slow,

you may succeed with another go.

 

Success is failure turned inside out,

the silver tint of the cloud of doubt.

 

You never can tell how close you are,

it may be near when it seems so far.

 

So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit

it’s when things seem worst

that you must not quit.
