Awaken Your Fortitude

Awaken your true fortitude Define the essence of your latitude Pray for strength to climb the rock way upward Climb ye with the confidence of a daring leopard Within every human is perfect fortitude Dive deep into the bottom heart to feel the magnitude Fortitude is the guard and support of the all virtues In firmness she emits her traces of perfect clues Fortitude is the marshal of meaningful thought Its exactitude cannot be outward fright wrought She is the armor of the human will Fortitude endures like mountain hill She is the fortress of reason Her foes include all the acts of treason Gird your hearts with silent fortitude Don’t you let fear your hear intrude Suffer yet hope in all things good Strength of mind may it be thy food That enables thee to endure adversity with courage And leads you away from wild meaningless rage
