DON'T QUIT
Folder:
OLD POEMS WHEN THINGS GO WRONG AS THEY SOMETIMES WILL,
WHEN THE ROAD YOU'VE TRUDGING SEEMS ALL UPHILL,
WHEN THE FUNDS ARE LOW AND 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 TWIST AND TURNS
AS EVERYONE OF US SOMETIMES LEARN
AND MANY A FAILURE TURNS ABOUT
WHEN HE MIGHT HAVE WON HAD HE STUCK IT OUT,
DON'T GIVE UP THROUGH THE PACE SEEMS SLOW
YOU MAY SUCCEED WITH ANOTHER BLOW
SUCCESS IS FAILURE TURNED INSIDE OUT
THE SILVER TINE OF THE CLOUDS OF DOUBT
AND 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.
