The Beaverkill River, NY - CLICK to enlarge When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, And the road your trudging seems all uphill; When the funds are low and the debts are high... When care is pressing you down a bit - Rest, if you must, but don't quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns. And many a fellow turns about When he might have won, had he stuck it out. So, don't give up, Though the pace seems slow - You may succeed with another blow ! Often, the goal is nearer than would seem to a 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 came down, How close he was to the Golden Crown ! Success is failure turned inside out - The silver tint in the clouds of doubt; You can never tell how close you are ! It may be near when it seems afar. So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit. It's when things seem worst that You mustn't quit !!! { The Author of This Poem is Unknown. }
