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 you want to smile, but you have a sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you want, but don't you quit.



Life is queer with it's 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 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.

I hope this poem gives you encouragement througout your journey, as it has done for me. :flowerforyou:

    Boy, you helped me! For awhile there I was having a hard time trying to keep going. No weight loss, Just staying the same, and having trouble just trying to eat all the fruits and vegies I need to on a daily basis.
