 When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging
Seems all up hill,
When funds are low and 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 person turns about
When they might have won had they 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 victor’s 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 maybe near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when
You’re hardest hit, -
It’s when things seem worst that
THANK YOU!
