A friend indeed

My friend in need, a friend indeed................

When things go wrong

as they sometimes will,

when the road you're trudging seems all uphill;

When the funds are low

& 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 must not quit.
