Don't Quit

When things go wrong
as they sometimes will

When the road you are trudging seems all uphill
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you have to smile but you have to sigh
When care is pressing down you 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

Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of the doubt
And your nerves can tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems so far
So stick to the flight when you are hardest hit
It’s when things seems worst you mustn’t quit.

(This is a poem from Shiva Khera’s book “You can win”. This is a poem which always gives be courage to challenge the situations through which I’m going right now. I just love this poem and whenever I go through it I get new courage and strengths especially in time of difficulties. Actually it is through this poem that I got title for my blog)
