Unsubdued
S.E. Kiser.
I have hoped, I have planned, I have striven,
To the will I have added the deed;
The best that was in me I’ve given,
I have prayed, but the gods would not heed.
I have dared and reached only disaster,
I have battled and broken my lance;
I am bruised by a pitiless master
That the weak and the timid call Chance.
I am old, I am bent, I am cheated
Of all that Youth urged me to win;
But name me not with the defeated,
To-morrow again, I begin.

Hi Terveen, You have the fire in your belly. Nothing will stop you. That’s the kind of spirit that climbs mountains and swims across great rivers. Shine on. Ray
