Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be

    Beautiful. The first time my lost eyes found shelter under the great wing of this inspiring work my cheeks felt some of the most passionate and fearless tears ever. I love this poem and it will always be near and dear to my heart.

    My dad liked this poem, he died in 2006, and I only just now read the poem. I understand a little more about the man I didnt get to know in life. He had a hard life his father and mother were drunks, therefore he became a drunk, but he was very proud and never bowed his head. My father the master of his fate, the captian of his soul.

    An internal locus of control is always a beautiful and masterful thing to behold: -)

    Excellent:
    Song of a heart
    singing victories
    over and above
    all pains and afflictions.
