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 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.
For life is strange with its twists and turns
As everyone of us sometimes learns
And many a failure turns about,
When you might have won had you stuck it out.
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.
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 so far:
So, stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit,
It’s when things seem worse that you must not quit.
