Per Ardua Ad Elsan Poem by Christopher Tye

Per Ardua Ad Elsan

People reaching for the skies,
Everybody striving to be the best,
Really living life is an art.

Always pushing the envelope of life,
Redoubling efforts to overcome setbacks,
Deeds can't be judged by ourselves clearly,
Ultimately time and history is the judge,
After we have passed what will be our legacy.

All men are judged by their peers,
Deeds done are all we leave behind.

Exactly what do you want from life,
Live life for it's too short to waste,
So do all those things you keep putting off,
As life can change and end so quickly,
Nearly everybody thinks life's crappy sometimes.
