When things go wrong
as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging
seems to uphill,
When the funds are low
and the debts are high,
And you want to smile
but you have to sigh,
When care is preesing you
down a bit,
Rest if you must
but don’t you quit,
Life is queer
with its twist and turns,
as everyone of us
sometimes learns
and many a fellow turn about
when she might have won
had she 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 woman.
Often the struggler has given up
when she might have captured
the victor’s cup
and she learned too late
when the night came down
how close she was
to the golden crown.
Success is failure
turned inside out-the silver tint of the clouds
of doubt,and you can never tell
how close you are.
It may be near
when it seems afar
So stick to the fight
when you’re hardest hit
It’s when things seem worstthat you musn’t quit.
