A Wise Man

Mindful and good, move mindset forth;
Align grand poise, align sure face;
Nurture brave mood, nurture path north.
Obsess clear choice, obsess fine grace;
Feel people's pain, feel champions cause.
Pride spurs tangent, pride hurls passion;
Ride fear and strain, ride surge and pause;
Incite movement, incite action;
Note danger signs, note active style;
Charge with clear calm, charge with sure spark;
Intent draws lines, intent frames smiles;
Proof spreads kind balm, proof wears high marks;
Live a grand aim, live a great quest;
Etch without blame, etch your grand zest.
