This is a card I received from my youngest DD's foster mom a few years ago while in the hospital having another of my MANY surgeries. I have it hanging on the wall in front of my computer.
Don't Quit
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will.
when the road you're trudging seems all up hill.
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 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 suceed with another blow.
Sucess is failure turned inside out.
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell how close you are.
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit.
It's when things seem worse.
that you must not quit.
