Crippled under weighted world
That sits upon his fragile shoulder
The ground he stood forever swirled
Beneath his feet the embers smoulder
Yet circumstance could not defeat
A man who's heart is tough as stone
He never stopped or dared retreat
Just marched t'ward the winners throne
And when he stood upon the mount
He did not brag or boast at all
He merely told us his account
So humble, though he stood so tall
The lesson that his tale bestows
That taught us all, to learn to try
The universe unfolds to those -
Who have no wings, but dare to fly
