when things go wrong as they sometimes will,
when the road you are treading seems all up hill.
when the funds are low and the doubts 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 everyone of us sometimes learn.
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 Victors cup,
and he learned too late when the night came 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 are hardest hit -
it's when things seem worst that you musn't quit.
for those who've triumphed, well done! ((:
but for those who've faltered once, rest if you must, but don't you quit!
