“DON’T QUIT”
Author Unknown
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 you quit.
Life is queer with the 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 through 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 seem worse,
that you must not quit.

I sound this on the very first thread posted at Amy’s Place. Thank you for sharing this Deadhead!
Oh man .... where is The Thin Man?
I sound s/b I found
I have been away a couple of days doing my duties! Sorta got behind and still am not finished.
“Don’t quit” has a lot of meaning for me. After my hubby passed away, I thought the world had ended...felt like everything was ‘just over’ and I would never be happy again. I have a best friend from our early school days (8th grade) and she lives about 100 miles away. She drove over a couple of months after he passed away and she brought me that little plaque with “Don’t Quit” and I placed it on the left of my cooktop so it could remind me everyday to keep fighting. It is still there and I have learned “we can be happy again”. Its amazing how God just helps us heal so we can laugh and be normal again. Those wonderful memories are embedded in our mind for always and forever, but we do learn life is worthwhile! Thank ya’ll for reminding me again.
