How do you ensure others are able to trust you? A Sturdy Man
There will always be something to do my boy; There will always be wrongs to right; There will always be need for a manly breed And men unafraid to fight. There will always be honor to guide my boy; There will always be hills to climb; And task to do and battles new, From now till the end of time. There will always be dangers to face my boy; There will always be goals to take; And men shall be tired when the roads divide, And proved by the choice they make. There will always be burdens to bear, my boy; There will always be need to pray; There will always be tears through the future years As loved ones are borne away. There will always be God to serve my boy; And always the flag above; They shall call to you until life is through For courage and strength and love. So, these are the things I dream my boy And have dreamed since your life began; That whatever befalls, When the old-world calls It shall find you a sturdy man. By Edgar Albert Guest “The heights of great men reached and kept were not attained in sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upwards in the night.” - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
