Be Strong

Come boldly into this old world, my son Don't cry and shake your fists with angst and dread Grow straight, grow strong and work until it's done Life is action and not just what is said The time will come when you will be the one To see and change that deadly road ahead And there will come a time for love, my boy Then you will see this cold world, too, brings joy 6/5/2017 For contest Ottava Rima
