Like Hercules

by

Ronald G. Auguste

For Leo Went

He is a man of strength, as you can be.
Especial talents gild his heart and yours.
Reach up, like him, and grab the stars you'll see.
Cleave to the high roads as life's faith implores.
Unshackle all those traits which mar its mores.

Like Hercules, let faith infest your soul.
Engage his manly customs in your quest.
Serene in love, and gentle, act his role,
Lest lesser mortals claim the title Best.
Each of his deeds is worthy; none is jest.

Observe a name like Hercules -- be bold!
Whatever fortune brings you, light or dark,
Embolden your ideas to fit his mould,
Negating all restraints as you embark
Towards your life, in deed! Life's not a lark!
