TO THE QUITTER
TO THE QUITTER
Undying Poems: Dr. Romulo A. Ramirez
The world won’t care if you quit;
And the world won’t whine if you fall;
The busy world won’t notice it;
No matter how loudly you wail.
Nobody will worry that you
Have relinquished the fight and gone down;
For it is only the things that you do
That are worth while and get you renown.
The quitters are quickly forgotten;
Of them the world spends little time;
And a few ever care that you’ve not;
The courage or patience to climb.
So give up and quit in despair;
And take your place back on the shelf;
But don’t think the world’s going to care;
You are injuring only yourself.
