Don't quit!!!

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the load you are trudging seems all uphill,
When funds are low and debts are high,
And you want to smile but you had to sigh,
Rest if you must but don't quit.

Life is queer with its twist 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 seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and struggling man,
Often the struggler had given up,
And he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tent of the clouds of doubt,
It may be near when it seems afar,
So stick to the fight when you are hardest hit,
It is when things seem worst that you musn't quit.
