punching an optimist in the face

#3

When things go wrong as they sometimes will;

When the road you’re traveling seems all uphill;

When the funds are low an the debts are high;

When all is pressing you down a bit –

Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

Success is failure turned inside out;

The silver tint are clouds of doubt;

You can never tell how close you are –

It may be near when it seems afar.

So, stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit - -

It’s when things go wrong that you mustn’t quit.
