just rest but don't quit

when things go wrong as they sometimes will,
when the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
when the funds are low and the debts are high,
and when you want to smile, but you have to sigh.
when care is pressing you down 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 may succeed with another blow

success is a 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 so far
so stick to the tight when you're at the hardest hit
its when things seem worst that you must not quit..
