Don't Quit...

CanonMan_2

I spotted this verse on a fridge magnet on my moms fridge, it's been there ages but I've never read it before...

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 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 queer with it's 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 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 near when it seems so far.
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-
It's when things seems worst that you must not quit.

Just though i'd share

That's excellent! I am going to copy that and put it next to my computer to keep me motivated.

Someone gave me that poem years ago after i'd have a miscarriage (two healthy kids now so i'm lucky). It's totally fab isn't it. Thankyou for reminding me of it. xx

LOL I send that to my members when they're struggling to lose weight- but it's applicable to lots of life situations!
