These Moments Matter

when we put our money down

and gamble

for things that can’t be seen

It is the explorer

who dares to go one more mile

when his crew threatens mutiny

or the barbarian

who faces arrogant empires

reliant on their technology

The warrior’s mind

is his weapon

changing to strength

in his weakness

It can’t be quantified

though, many have tried

His spirit moves from somewhere

speaking poetry

to a delusional ego

willing to fight incredible odds

without seeing the numbers

Endurance

sets men apart

How far will they go?

the edge must be explored

and boldness becomes their genius

unless they fall

So, trust in yourself

but also recognize…

Success is the Measure of Men.
