"Don’t Quit" (redux)
"This is a revised version of a classic poem that was written anonymously many years ago."
I remember when I was a lad Some advice I got from my dad.
He said when hard times come and they will And life, it seems is all uphill You can’t help but take the hit Stomp your feet, grit your teeth, bite the bit But don’t you quit!
Success is failure turned wrong side out It’s the silver lining in the clouds of doubt. So if life just seems to pass you by You want to smile, but you have to sigh And better times seem far off from where you sit Take a deep breath, rest if you must Kick up your heels and shake off the dust. But don’t you quit!
I won’t say life is one big cherry when it’s the pit It’s when things seem the worst you must not quit. Just aim high, shoot for a star, You never know how close you are Stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit ...And trust in Jesus, because HE won’t quit!
