Test of a Man

The test of a man
Is the fight that He makes
The grit that He daily shows
The way that he stands upon his feet
And takes life's numerous bumps and blows

The coward can smile while there's naught to fear
And nothing his progress bars.
But it takes a man to stand and cheer
While the other fellow stars

It isn't the victory after all
But the fight that a brother makes
A man, when driven against the wall,
Still stands erect and takes the blows of fate

With his head held high, bleeding bruised, and pale
Is the man who will win, and fate defied
For he isn't afraid to fail
