When thing go wrong as they sometimes will,
when the road you are trudging seems all uphill,
when the funds are low and depts are high,
and you want to smile but you sigh,
when care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest if you must but don't quite..

life is strange with its twists and turns,
as everyone of us sometimes learns,
and many a fellow turn about,
when he might have won had he stuck it out,...
