Never Give up
When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road your trudging seems all uphill
When the funds are low and the debt is 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 strange with its twists and turns
as everyone of us sometimes learns
and many a failure turns about
when you might have won if you stuck it out
Don't give up though the pace seems slow
you could succeed with another blow
success is failure turned inside out
the silver tint on the cloud 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 worse
YOU MUST NOT QUIT!
