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 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 its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

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 worst that you must not quit.

One of my classmates gave it to me during the time of my sentiments. I can't hardly believe that she was the one who made me smile that moment.She was right we should be never even the world is already against us.For the past few weeks I had totally struggled from nightmare of my past experience.I tried to hide everything by giving my smile to them.It's already been 12 years had passed after that traumatic I had experienced .I tried to move on but I can't. He still visits me in the middle of night I can't do anything with it but to cry to God. My life is a dramatic one.It's my first time to reveal this... I am just one of those millions of children who had bad experienced in their childhood. It's a good thing that they would able to share it and have the experienced the justice. But me...I just kept it and became slave of my past.I don't have the courage to voiced it out...I am weak.However in my weakness God gave me the strength to continue His gift...my Life.I know that God has a precious plan for me.
