HI!
Years ago I remember a poem that came to me via that wonderful minster of the Gospel, TL Osborn. I have kept hold of it, because it is a tremendous encouragement, and it seemed timely to share it with you today.
DON’T YOU QUIT!
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems 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.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As all of us sometime will learn,
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.
Success is failure turned inside out –
The silver tint in the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It might be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest
hit –
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit!
