dont 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 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 learns
and many a failure turns about
when he might have won had he stuck it out;
don't give up,tho the peace seems slow;
you might succeed with another blow

often the goal is nearer than
it seems to 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 slipped down
how close he was to the golden crown

success is failure turned inside out
the sliver tint of the clouds u are
it may be near when it seems afar
so stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
its when things seem worst that you mustn't quit
