::The Quitter::
It's the plugging away
that will win you the day
So don't be a piker, old pard!
Just draw on your grit;
it's so easy to quit.
It's the keeping-your-chin-up
that's hard.
It's easy to cry
that you are beaten, and die
It's easy to crawfish and crawl
But to fight and to fight
when hope's out of sight-
why, that's the
best game of them all!
And though
you come out of each gruelling bout,
All broken and beaten and scarred
Just have one more try-
it's dead easy to die
It's the keeping-on-living that's hard.
By: Robert W. Service,
from Collected Poems of Robert Service
(New York: Dodd,Mead & Co.,1996)
This is my mother's favourite poem.

The world is full of suffering,
it is also full of the overcoming of it.
