Grace Easley has written a poem that states this text beautifully. (Salesian, Mississippi 13992)
They said, "You'll never make it,"
and they thought that they were right,
But I kept plodding onward, because God had given me light.
And they shook their heads in wonder that I lacked the sense to quit,
But I held my chin up higher, and I didn't mind a bit.
They said, "You'll never make it," as the problems multiplied,
But I had to make an effort and to know at least I'd tried.
