Invictus by the Day
Hello Steemians! Today has been productive and good! I wish and hope you are all having a good day! Today, I would like to share a poem by William Ernest Henly. William was admitted on the hospital while he wrote the poem Invictus and then he became an artistic poet when he was there. This has served as an inspiration that no matter what happens in our life we have the control on how to accept and turn things great in our way.
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
William Ernest Henley
I hope you are all fine and well! Goddnght! Thank you for reading. God bless!
