When things go wrong as they
sometimes will
When the road your 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
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 fellow 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 faltering
man
Often the struggler has given
up
When he might have captured the
victor's cup
And he learned too late when
the night came down
How close he was to the golden
crown.
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 seems afar
So stick to the fight when you
are hardest hit
It's when
things seem worse that you musn't quit. -Unknown
