Take Your Troubles
Edgar A. Guest
Take your troubles
Best you can.
Stand right up
And play the man.
Face ’em just
As though you knew
You were coming
Safely through.
Blows will hurt
And bruise you, maybe,
But don’t whimper
Like a baby.
Stand right up
And be a man.
Meet your troubles
Best you can.

Keep Your Grit
Louis E. Thayer
Hang on! Cling on! No matter what they say,
Push on! Sing on! Things will come your way.
Sitting down and whining never help a bit –
Best way to get there is by keeping up your Grit.
Don’t give up hoping when the ship goes down;
Grab a spar or something, just refuse to drown.
Don’t think you’re dying just because you’re hit;
Smile in face of danger and hang on to your Grit.
Folks die too easy, they sort o’ fade away;
Make a little error and give up in dismay;
Kind o’ man that’s needed is the man of ready wit
To laugh at pain and loss and keep fast hold his Grit.

Encouraging Poem About Willpower
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
There is no chance, no destiny, no fate,
Can circumvent or hinder or control
The firm resolve of a determined soul.
Gifts count for nothing; will alone is great;
All things give way before it, soon or late.
What obstacle can stay the mighty force
Of the sea-seeking river in its course,
Or cause the ascending orb of day to wait?
Each well-born soul must win what it deserves.
Let the fool prate of luck. The fortunate
Is he whose earnest purpose never swerves,
Whose slightest action or inaction serves
The one great aim. Why, even Death stands still,
And waits an hour sometimes for such a will.

Instructions on Not Giving Up
Ada Limon
More than the fuchsia funnels breaking out
of the crabapple tree, more than the neighbor’s
almost obscene display of cherry limbs shoving
their cotton candy-colored blossoms to the slate
sky of Spring rains, it’s the greening of the trees
that really gets to me. When all the shock of white
and taffy, the world’s baubles and trinkets, leave
the pavement strewn with the confetti of aftermath,
the leaves come. Patient, plodding, a green skin
growing over whatever winter did to us, a return
to the strange idea of continuous living despite
the mess of us, the hurt, the empty. Fine then,
I’ll take it, the tree seems to say, a new slick leaf
unfurling like a fist to an open palm, I’ll take it all.

Never Give Up!
Martin Farquhar Tupper
Never give up! It is wiser and better
Always to hope than once to despair;
Fling off the load of doubt’s heavy fetter,
And break the dark spell of tyrannical care.
Never give up! or the burden may sink you
Providence kindly has mingled the cup,
And in all trials or troubles, bethink you,
The watchword of life must be, Never give up!
Never give up! there are chances and changes
Helping the hopeful a hundred to one;
And through the chaos High Wisdom arranges
Ever success – if you’ll only hope on:
Never give up! for the wisest is boldest,
Knowing that Providence mingles the cup,
And of all maxims the best is the oldest,
Is the true watchword of Never give up!
Never give up! – though the grape-shot may rattle,
Or the full thunder-cloud over you burst,
Stand like a rock – and the storm or the battle
Little shall harm you, though doing their worst.
Never give up! If adversity presses,
Providence wisely has mingled the cup,
And the best counsel in all your distresses
Is the stout watchword of – Never give up!

If You Give Up
Catherine Pulsifer
If you give up what will that achieve?
Will you feel like you’ve met your needs?
Giving up can make you feel
Worse than losing a deal.
Do you give in when things get hard
Throw up your hands with no regard
Giving up on your dreams
No longer moving forward with any steam.
When things get difficult for you
Do you accept defeat too?
Throw in the towel and say
No more, I have had it for the day.
But when you never give up
You find solutions popping up
Yes you may have to walk away
But only for one day.
Sometimes taking a break
Is a good thing for your sake
When faced with a challenging task
Find others who can help, just ask
When you never give up you will find
A success that is like any other kind
If everything was easy and quick to do
There would be no satisfaction for you.
You see, in life, we all must face
Times when we feel we are in the wrong place
But we never give up and accept defeat
For you will find determination is sweet!

Just Keep On
Clifton Abbott
Just keep on a-livin’
An’ keep on a-givin’,
An’ keep on a-tryin’ to smile;
Just keep on a-singin’
A-trustin’ an’ a-clingin’
To the promise of an afterwhile.
For the sun comes up
An’ the sun goes down,
An’ the morning follows night.
There’s a place to rest
Like a mother’s breast,
An’ a time when things come right.
Just keep on believin’
An’ a-hidin’ all your grievin’.
An’ keep on a-tryin’ to cheer.
Just keep on a-prayin’
A-lovin’ an’ a-sayin’
The things that we love to hear.
For the tide comes in
An’ the tide goes out.
An’ the dark will all turn bright;
There’s a rest from the load
An’ an end to the road.
An’ a place where things come right.

Never Let Go
Folger McKinsey
Oh, do not let go and do not give up
And do not let down it is wrong!
There is always a chance of your winning the cup,
There is always the need of a song.
Never let go, but cling to the end,
And never let down – lift your eyes
To the hopes that still over us lovingly bend,
To the light that is filling the skies!
What odds that the struggle is bitter and black,
That the striving has seemed all in vain;
Never let go and go tumbling back,
There’s a chance for us all once again.
No matter how weary, how troubled and worn,
How futile the struggle may seem,
There is always a bit of good luck in the morn,
There is always a light in the dream!
Oh, do not let go take another firm hold,
And never go down if you can:
Life’s prizes are sweet, but there’s far better gold
In the spirit of being a man.
So stick to the struggle, and trust, and dig on;
There’s a chance for you yet, you will see:
The blackest of nights brings the glow of the dawn
And the luck that may set us all free.

Where There’s A Will There’s A Way
David V. Bush
“Where there’s a will, there is a way!”
Never give up the ship;
There’s land ahead and “ivory bed”
To each stiff upper lip.
You may not see which way to turn,
But still there is a way.
Where’s there’s a will keep at it still
You’ll reap success some day.
If you can’t see, still there’s a way;
A way with every will;
You may not know which way to go,
But you will climb the hill.
Don’t waver, man, there is a way
If you but have the will;
So plug along, with heart and song,
Success comes but by drill.
