DONT QUIT by John Greenleaf Whittier Sent in by Natasha Dawn Lark-Rigby

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low & the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sign,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest of you must, but don’t you quit,
Life is strange with its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns
And many a failure comes 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.
Success is failure turned inside out –
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell just 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.
