The test of a Man
The Test of a Man
The test of a man is the fight that he makes,
The grit that he daily shows,
The way he stands on his feet and takes
The fate’s buffets and blows.
A coward can smile when there’s naught to fear,
When everything's commonplace;
But it takes a man to stand up and cheer
With the shadows right in his face.
The test of a man is the hill he climbs,
The paths that he treads alone,
The way he rises above the times
When the seeds of defeat are sown.
It’s easy to drift with the changing tide,
To quit when the battle is tough;
But the world gives way to the stubborn pride
Of the man who won't say, "Enough!"
"It isn’t the victory, after all,
But the fight that a brother makes;
The man who, driven against the wall,
Still stands erect and takes."
So count your scars, but keep your stride,
No matter how deep the fall;
For the ultimate test of a man’s true pride
Is how he stands through it all.
