As they sometimes do, things go wrong…

The road you walk seems an uphill
Debts are high, funds are low
You want to smile, but can’t but sigh

Life is queer with its twists and turns
Sometimes, things are not what they seem
Somehow everyone comes to learn
Many a pain turns about to gain

Though the pace be slow don’t give up
With another blow, succeed you may
For success is failure upturned
Success – the silver tint of the cloud of doubt

You never can tell how close you are
When it seems so far, indeed it’s near
Dauntless remain when hardest hit
When gloom envelopes
Remember: Do not quit
