Another Forgotten Name

Do you want to know

The secret of life,

For it has baffled many souls.

It is quite easy to receive,

But quite difficult to hold.

The strong of heart and weak of mind

Will oft accomplish their goal.

While the weak of heart and strong of mind

Won’t always fulfill the role.

But you see all men are created equal,

Yet different in their turn.

The strong of heart and weak of mind

May be remembered for their feat,

But they will pass away

 At a younger age than thee

Of the weak of heart and strong of mind.

For the weak of heart and strong of mind

Will take no risks and accept no fame

And they will live to be old,

Just another forgotten name.
