Have you got the nerve
to take it all the way
make it work when all goes bad
fight another day.
Then rise above the odds
to do your given best
battle on against the pain
without a day of rest.
Can you hold your nerve
when they destroy all your trust
turn the other cheek
still love life when love is lost.
Can you look at danger
stare it in the face
have you got the nerve
to join the human race.
Philip M Gale
