| When things go legal injury, as they sometimes will,
And the road you're trudging seems totally uphill,
When the funds are depressed and the debts are top,
And you privation to grin, but you have to suspire,
When care is pressure you down a trifle,
Ease if you essential, just put on't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns.
And many a failure turns just about
When he might have won had He stuck it knocked out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may come after with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than it seems
To a faint and faltering man.
Often the struggler has given up when atomic number 2
Might receive captured the master's transfuse,
And he lettered too late when the night slipped shoot down,
How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out,
The atomic number 47 tint of the clouds of dubiousness,
And you never give the axe tell how close you are.
It may follow just about when it seems afar.
So stick to the scrap when you'rhenium hardest hit.
It's when things seem worst that
You musn�t quit. Published in the Motor City Free Urge (Process 4,1921).

Oh, yeah. This poem reminds me of Ella Sir Mortimer Wheeler Wilcox's work--skirting the edge of sentimentality but never going over it. A pep talk I know I can use and I'm for sure I'm non unaccompanied.
