Don't Quit

by Amy *scorp.* - Not entered

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.
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 your hardest hit...

It's when things go wrong
that you mustn't quit.

Reason for writing:

    Don't ever give up!
