When the funds are low, and the debts are high,
When 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 odd with it's twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he may 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 doubt.

And you never can tell how close you are.
It may be so near when it seems so far.

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem the worst that you must not quit.
