“The power of the will is a fire
That lies not outside, but within oneself.” By author
****************************************************************
Power of the Will
When fate has dealt us severe hammer blows
And the sun is veiled for days in a row,
When dark clouds shroud our mind with dull despair
And strings of sturdy storms lay our soul bare
Let us call on the power of the will
To infuse in us stern strength to stand still;
A sincere sister of perseverance
Deep from the self, will power draws its sense
And within us eternally resides
As a fire to forge ahead that presides
Over the part we play to reach our goals
Without staining with soil our sacred soul.
