I will never quit, said the Stubborn Mule.
I can not quit, she said again.
I can keep trying, again and again.
I could not stop, not now, not ever.
I shall never cease efforts, not now, not ever.
I could not stop til' my doubts be severed.
I should never lose hope.
I should never give up.
I shall always see a half-full cup.
I would not faulter, give in,
I would not break, despite the bad.
I would stay determined, no matter how sad.
I did not cry, said the Stubborn Mule.
I did not break, even with the weight,
I did not falter, even with my fate.
So I won!
