About me
A Man's CreedLet me live, Oh Might Master,
Such a life as Men should know;
Testing triumph and disaster -
Joy, but not too much of woe.
Let me run the gamut over,
Let me fight and love and laugh,
And when I'm beneath the clover,
Let this be my epitaph:
Here lies one who took his chances,
In this busy world of men;
Battled luck and circumstances;
Fought and fell, and fought again;
Won sometimes, but did no crowing;
Lost sometimes, but did not wail;
Took his beating but kept going;
And never let his courage fail.
