I have ridden the wind, weathered the storm,
Stared into darkness that had no form,
I have challenged the lightening, braved the rain,
Survived the adversity of this dismal plain.
In my time I have stepped up and shouldered the load,
Striding forward boldly over rock filled road,
Never have I begged to be free from strife,
For it is naturally part of this simple life.
Facing the unfaceable, I have absorbed its wrath,
Stood strong as its power swept all else from the path,
Dug in with my nails, grasped firm earth quite strong,
Held on through the agonies, no matter how long.
I have always stood head up, with jaw thrust out,
Facing the power of the world with no doubt,
That if I remained strong, determined and bold,
Stories of my trials and battles would be told.
And the lesson could be taught, round this earth,
To those who have yet to experience birth;
"Enjoy life and the living", for all the while,
I bore it with pleasure...and with a smile
