Of Self-Reliance
FAST or slow, I'll reach the top!
Birds that cannot Fly can Hop.
How Strong is he, who, Brave yet Undefiant,
Admits Mistakes and still is Self-reliant!
I N Ocean's Depths where all is Darkest Night,
Those Creatures see that learned to make their Light.
T HE Bat, who cannot grow a Feather,
Contrives to fly on Wings of Leather.
B E not a Limpet—a Dependent Thing
That wants a Waveworn Rock on which to Cling.
