SEE IT THROUGH

SEE IT THROUGH When you’re up against a trouble, Meet it squarely, face to face, Lift your chin and set your shoulders, Plant your feet and take a brace; When it’s vain to try to dodge it, Do the best that you can do; You may fail, but you may conquer — SEE IT THROUGH! Black may be the clouds about you And your future may seem grim, But don’t let your nerve desert you, Keep yourself in fighting trim; If the worst is bound to happen, Spite of all that you can do, Running from it will not save you — SEE IT THROUGH! Even hope may seem but futile, When with troubles you’re beset, But remember you are facing Just what other men have met; You may fail, but fall still fighting, Don’t give up, whatever you do; Eyes front, head high to the finish — SEE IT THROUGH! ~Edgar Albert Guest (1881-1959)
