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 to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
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 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 every one 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.
As every one 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.
Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
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 worst that you must not quit.
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 worst that you must not quit.

Life goes on and we have to find ways to keep up with the changes.
ReplyDeleteLove this , i am going to continue to work hard as i been doing !
ReplyDeleteI know i've had my share of times where I just wanted to give up. But I've came to far and refuse to give up. But plan to press on a little bit harder and a little bit longer.
ReplyDeleteI will Miss Allen, I will never give up
ReplyDeleteI have had days like that but I know that I can't give up :)
ReplyDeleteWow i really needed this =)I just went threw one of these situations this weekend with my AP work. It was hard but i toughed it out and got it done. Nice blog miss A!!
ReplyDeleteYes I have had my down days but when I talk to God I know he's right by my side to help me get through it!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ms. Allen for this encouraging poem. "Quitters never prosper"
ReplyDeleteThe world keeps spinning and life keeps changing we just have to keep up with it all.
ReplyDeleteI to feel like I want to just give up and not do anything, but with somethings I just can't do it cause when you give up you get left behind.
ReplyDeleteI just had that thought today in my 1st period class. I didnt feel like doing my work and I wanted to just quit but I know that I have a goal to reach and I dont want to fail just because I was being lazy.
ReplyDeleteI've had plenty of times where I've felt like giving up, but then i'll sit back and have a talk with God & realize that I've came to far to quit now. I've worked hard for anything that I've done and i'm not gone give up for nothing in the world.
ReplyDeleteReally needed that! Thanks for the poem
