dont quit

Post by sweetyesterdays » Thu Oct 21, 2004 3:01 am

does anyone know where i could find a poem that i think is called 'dont quit'
i did a search for it but i couldnt find it...
i remember reading it and loving it, so i was going to go back and print it out...but i cant find it and im sad :(
"i smoke & i drink
& every time i blink i have a tiny dream
but as bad as i am
i'm proud of the fact
that i'm worse than i seem.
what kind of paradise am i looking for?
i've got everything i want and still i want more..."

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 til 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 nigh;
Don't quit, for you're not a failure,
until you fail to try.

I googled the line you gave and found this:

When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill
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 everyone of us sometimes learns
And many a failure turns about
When he/she might have won had he/she stuck it out
Don't give up though the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow.

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.
I'm the Urban Spaceman, baby...
