The Creed

i have no time for worries ,
for fear would hold my feet 
and make me stiff and halt and lame.
but free i travel where my path is gold,
so all may see the road by which i came.
 now i do have time for love and time for play
,yes all the time in the world is mine to use,
i also have time for work so i plan my day ,
for only these things alone do i choose .....
..... (that's why)
i try to live as gentle as i can.
and no matter what i stand a man.
i've taken what came , wheather good or ill.
and klinged to my faith and honor still.
so whenever failure should come to me .
i'll still work and hope for victory.
and i'll always live untaunted and unafraid,
,of any choices that i have made
,for
i'm without pretence or sham,
i'm exactly what you think i am.
this is all i beleive i need
 for my philosophy in life to succeed
