Don't Quit
(Submitted by Sharon Mont’s Mom, Darlene Bevers)
When things to 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 is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow 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
nightcame 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 afar;
So stick to the fight when you’re
hardest hit,--
It’s when things seem worst that you
mustn’t quit.
