Never Quit

Things do go wrong, they sometimes will,
The road you tread may go uphill.
Your spirit is down, too discouraged to try.
You want to smile, but you have to sigh.
When troubles press you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but never quit.

Life is full of twists and turns,
Expecting these, we have to learn.
Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose,
To do our best, we have to choose.
Don’t give up, I wish to advise,
You may succeed with just another try.

Often the struggler may just give up,
When he might have won the victor’s cup.
He might learn too late, when he is old,
How close he was to the crown of gold.

Success is failure overcome,
Look for the silver lining, and don’t glum.
So stick to the fight, trying every bit,
It’s when things seem bad,
That you must never quit.
