DON’T QUIT
When things go wrong as they
sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging
seems all up hill,
When the funds are low
and the debts are high,
And you want to smile
but you have to cry,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won
had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace
seams slow -
You may succeed with
another blow.
Success is failure turned
inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds
of doubt,
And you never can tell
how close you are,
It may be near when it seams so far,
So stick to the fight when
you’re hardest hit -
It’s when things seem worse
That you must not quit!
