When you're up against a trouble, <br />Meet it squarely, face to face; <br />Lift your chin and set your shoulders, <br />Plant your feet and take a brace. <br />When it's vain to try to dodge it, <br />Do the best that you can do; <br />You may fail, but you may conquer, <br />See it through ! <br /> <br />Black may be the clouds about you <br />And your future may seem grim, <br />But don't let your nerve desert you; <br />Keep yourself in fighting trim. <br />If the worst is bound to happen, <br />Spite of all that you can do, <br />Running from it will not save you, <br />See it through ! <br /> <br />Even hope may seem but futile, <br />When with troubles you're beset, <br />But remember you are facing <br />Just what other men have met. <br />You may fail, but fall still fighting; <br />Don't give up, whate'er you do; <br />Eyes front, head high to the finish. <br />See it through !<br /><br />Edgar Albert Guest<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/see-it-through-2/
