_______________________________________ _______________________________________               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 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 can be strange with its twists and turns, as every one 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

   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 slipped 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 so     far
 

   So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit, it's when things seem worst         that you must not quit

“A Million Didn’t Make It; But I Was One of the Ones Who Did”
