Don't QUIT
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
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 afar
So, stick to the fight
when you're hardest hit
It's when things go wrong
that you mustn't quit

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
As it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
If I surrender to His Will;
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
And supremely happy with Him
Forever and ever in the next.
Amen.
