Don't Quit

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 have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but do not quit.
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 you're hardest hit
It's when things go wrong that you must not quit.

That is one of my favorites. I wrote a paper in one of my alcohol classes in college about my drinking and recovery and used that poem in the beginning of my report to help prove my point of why I didn't quit trying to stay sober. I stayed sober.
