When things go wrong as the sometimes will,
When the road you are trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the depths 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 do not quit.

Life is queer with it's twist and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
when they might have won,had they stuck it out
Do not give up though the pace seems low,
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 learnt too late when he night came, down
how close he was to the golden crown.

It may be near when it seems so far, so stick
to the fight when you are hardest hit.
It's when things seem worse that you must not quit(3 times)
