Do not be discouraged

If the world does not seem bright to you

If instead of being an optimist you being one of the pessimists few

If you feel you have struggled in vain

And have not achieved any suitable gain

DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED

If you feel that nobody’s ever true

If you cannot another’s bad behavior construe

If at the slightest work, you feel much strain

If you think your load will drive your insane..

DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED

If there is something you cannot do

Do not give way to an easy boo-hoo

If you have to experience pain

Of if you ask for flowers but get the cane

DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED

If someone does not over you coo

Or your fair hand constantly woo

If your rebellious spirit has to quietly remain

If you look for help, and it is in vain

DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED
