Don't Quit

yep... been an exceptionally hard week...

While cleaning found this from Gramma San's stuff... funny how things work out that way...

Don't Quit
When things go wrong, as they will sometimes will,
when the road you're 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 through the pace seems slow,
you may 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 seems so far;
so stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
it's when things seem worse
that you must not quit.

Hmmm seems pretty appropriate. Now if i can only LISTEN and HEAR the words...
