DON'T QUIT!!!

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 HYOU 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 TWISTS AND TURNS,

AS EVERYONE 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 MIGHT SUCCEED WITH ANOTHER BLOW.

SUCCESS IS FAILURE TURNED INSIDE OUT,

THE SILVER TINT OF THE CLOUDS OF DOUBT,

AND YOU NEVER CAN TELL HOW CLOSE YOU ARE,

IT MAY BE NEAR WHEN IT SEEMS SO FAR.

SO STICK TO THE FIGHT WHEN YOU'RE HARDEST HIT,

IT'S WHEN THINGS SEEM WORSE, THAT YOU MUST NOT QUIT.

I JUST KEEP READING THIS. IT IS SO TRUE. I KNOW SOMETIMES, I THINK IT WOULD JUST BE EASIER TO QUIT. BUT THEN I SEE MAYA'S BEAUTIFUL FACE AND KNOW THAT I MUST STICK IT OUT TIL THE END. SHE IS SO WORTH ALL OF THE PAIN AND HEARTACHE. WHEN I HAVE HER HOME FOREVER, I WILL PROBABLY FORGET ALL THE WAIT.
