Mettle and Stone

How I wish I had your courage And could face life with unyielding faith And the strength of your undying heart. "Trial" is the testament of all you have known Tried to overcome their doubt Tried to give more when you'd given all Tried to be what they thought you couldn't Tried and became your very finest. Metal and stone cannot match Your tried and true mettle Or indomitable spirit Or my admiration Of you.

The flow of the stream is never the same the next day, because it has moved on and that point has been passed. Like the water in the stream we too must flow onto the horizon to join with the sun and the moon in their setting and rising. You have the spirit, unleash it. Great job! ~Joseph
