Don't Quit

Author Unknown

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 just don’t quit.
Life is strange with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a person 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 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.

Remember this truth when you start to doubt:
Success is failure turned inside out;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit –
It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit.
                            

And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. Hebrews 6:11-12
