a lost treasure

i used to own a book full of poems..i wasnt a minah jiwang or anything like that..its just that i dunno what to do with the lovely book/diary (i dont keep a journal) given by one of my starters (will explain what starter is one day)..so i just wrote all the poems or nice quotes that i found (or got fr.. yeah again.. my starters) in it..got hundreds of them..since my family moved about so many times..i lost it..probably my mum forgot to pack it in the boxes..it was one of the things i treasure..coz i have no talent with words..and the poems i kept in there were simply beautiful

blog hopping and found this..since i can see that many of my friends are not feeling the best at the mo..here goes a poem for u guys..


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 fellow 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 came 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 afar
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit
