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.
Success is failure turn inside out,
The silver tint of
the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell
how close you are,
It maybe near when it seems a far.
So stick to the fight
when you're hardest hit,
Its when things go wrong
that you must not quit.
Mr. Harry Knowles, Sr. (1904-1979)
