Make up your mind

“When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you are trudging seems all uphill,
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 do not you quit,
Life is queer, with its twist and turns
As everyone of us, sometimes learns
And many a failure turns about
When you might have won, if you had struck it out
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow.
You might succeed with another blow,
Folks don’t quit no matter what
Make up your mind that you are never going to give up.”
