Don't Quit-The Poem

Here a great poem I found wriitten by Edgar A.Guest:

DON"T QUIT

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will
When the road you are trudging seems all uphill,
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 it's twist and turns,
As every one of us sometime 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 suceed with another blow....


Success is failure turned inside out-
the sliver 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 are hardest hit-
It's when things get worse that you mustn't quit!

Edgar A. Guest
