Don'T Quit

When life goes wrong And the waves are strong; Be tough and come along Move and live lifelong. When the road gets long And the pain is prolong; Just hold on to get along For this is where you belong. When the source is low And the debts start to blow; Pride you need to swallow For you have dreams to follow. When little smiles glow And the sighs over flow Just rest! If you follow But don't quit for you to grow. When failures turn about And faces start to pout; Then pray and call out Feeling you need to shout. When the chances sprout And you stuck it out; Don't quit and cry out But continue trying it out. When successes turn inside out And the medals are in doubt; Be firm like a scout And continue hammering out. When golden crown walks out And slips it out; Just stick to fight it out For you not to be knocked out When the goal is nearer And the struggle is clearer; It's time to hear The name you bear. When the wins are queerer And the victor's cup is here! Just smile and cheer For this is what you adhere. May 16, 2017 Precioso Tano
