don't quit

when things go wrong
as they sometimes will
when the road you;re trudging seems all uphill
when the funds are low
and the debts are high
and when 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 odd 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 seems slow
you may succeed with another blow

success is failure turnd inside out
the silver tint of the clouds of doubt
and you can never tell how
close you are
it may be near when it seems so far
so stick to the flight when you're hardest hit
its when things seem worst
that you must not quit.
