Quitters Never Prosper

Quitters never prosper
So it is said
I won’t give up
I’m not yet dead!
When things go wrong
As they sometimes will
And the going 
Seems all uphill
And defeat shoves me down
Until I lose my will
Rest if you must
But don’t you ever quit
That light within
Burns up a shout
Frustration screams 
Let it all out
Many a failure turns around
Hold on and stand your ground
Your pace may be slow
But get up and go
For what is success
But failure, turned inside out!
