PERSEVERE
Drive the nail aright boys,
Hit it on the head !
Strike with all your might boys,
While the iron’s red.
When there’s work to do boys,
Do it with a will.
Those who reach the top boys,
First must climb the hill.
Standing at the foot boys,
Gazing at the sky.
How can you get up boys,
If you never try.
Though you stumble oft boys,
Never be downcast.
Try and try again boys,
You’ll succeed at last!
shared by Mr. Ronald Iskandar, my SMA english teacher, circa 1990
