Don’t Quit

 

Don’t quit when the tide is lowest,

For it’s just about to turn;

Don’t quit over doubts and questions,

For there’s something you may learn.

 

Don’t quit when the night is darkest,

For it’s just a while until dawn;

Don’t quit when you’ve run the farthest,

For the race is almost won.

 

Don’t quit when the hill is steepest,

For your goal is almost high;

Don’t quit, for you’re not a failure

Until you fail to try.
