A Symphony of Courage and Grace

Learn to be bold in adversity
avoidant of conceit,
To be generous in victory
and gracious in defeat.
Ignore not the lady
who has ceased from mental fight
nor the gentleman
who of his goal has lost sight;
He who could not stand;
who let his sword sleep in his hand.
Tell all your truth and be wary of lies,
Love, be undaunted by the final sacrifice.
