Don't Quit!!!
When things go wrong as they sometimes
will,
When the road you're trudging seems up
hill,
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 quit.
Life is strange with its twists and
turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns.
And many failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it
out;
Don't give up though the pace seems
slow---
You may succeed at another show.
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 so
far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest
hit---
It's when things seem worst that you must not
quit.
A personal note from Heather; In the sport
of Rodeo many try but few make it big. In my opinion there are a few very important things that make winners. The winners NEVER GIVE UP, the are dedicated, focused,
and they truely love what they are doing. So when you are depressed
& frustrated or funds are low, keep your chin up! And remember:
DON'T QUIT!
On the other hand....
Have you every watched your kids
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight
You better slow down
Do you run through each day on the fly?
When the day is done,
You'd better slow down
Ever told your child,
Ever lost touch,
You'd better slow down
When you run so fast to get somewhere
Life is not a race
on a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
lapping on the ground?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
When you ask "How are you?"
Do you hear the reply?
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
running through your head?
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
We'll do it tomorrow
And in your haste,
not see his sorrow?
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say "Hi"?
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift...
Thrown away...
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.
