DONT QUIT

When things go wrong as they sometimes will, when the road your trudging seems all uphill. When the funds run low , and the debts are high , And u want to smile , but u 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 we might have won had we stuck it out : Don't give up , tho the pace seems slow
You may succeed with one more blow. Success is failure turned inside out . The silver tint of the clouds of doubt , And you can never tell how close you are ,
 It may be near when it seems so far; So stick to the fight when your hardest hit , It's when things seem worse , that you must not Quit.

I have no idea where this color came from or how to get rid of it .

Abbyal,

I hope you don't mind but yours made me think of one from a long time ago also.



I'm not allowed to run the train, the whistle I cannot blow.

I'm not allowed to say how fast the railroad train can go.

I'm not allowed to shoot off steam or even clang the bell.

But let the damn thing jump the track and see who catches hell.

(( abby )) ty!

Ive learned that the only person I was really letting down - was myself.  And if you dont stand up for YOU ~ no one will.  It all starts with YOU (me hehe).
