fight , fight and fight
when things go wrong , as they sometimes will,
when the road you are trudging seem all uphill,
when the funds are low and debts are high,
and you want to smile but you have to sigh,
when care is pressing u down a bit,
rest if you must, but don't you quit
life is like a queer with its twist and turn,
as everyone of us sometimes learn,
and many a failure turns about,
dont give up though pace seems slow,
you may succeed with another blow,
success is a faliure turn inside out,
the silver tint of the cloud 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 are hardest hit,
its when things seem worst that you mustn't quit
