When things go wrong, as they sometimes will.
When the road your trudging seems all up hill.
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 everyone of us sometimes learns.
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don’t give up, though, the pace seems slow-
You might succeed with another blow.
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 seemed afar.
So stick to the fight when your hardest hit-
It’s when things seem worst that you musn’t quit.
“With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible”
-Matthew 19:26
