Invictus

Don't QuitWhen 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 you want to weep 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 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. Oft the goal is nearer than It seems to a faint and faltering man, Often the struggler has given up When he might have captured the victor's cup. And he learned too late, as the night slipped down, How close he'd been to the golden crown. 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 worst that you must not quit. The Man Who Thinks He Can
