A little inspiration

Happened across this poem the other day....and it's just sooooo perfect

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

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

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.

This was really a good read! I needed this today. I got and email from my husband who left four weeks ago today. It broke my heart and I needed something to lift me up.
Thanks for sharing.

First off - what a freaking PHENOMENAL avatar woman!!!  Holy schmoly - love love LOVE it!

Secondly - go get 'em...you'll definately get there.  No thanks needed...I knew if it helped me, it would be bound to help at least one other :)
