Walk Like a Man — an inspirational poem

Walk Like a Man (formerly Go On Alone!)

Walk like a man, even though you walk alone.

Why court approval, once the road is known?

Let come who will, but if they all turn home,

The goal still awaits you: Go on alone!

Follow your dream, though it lead to worlds unknown.

Life’s but a shadow, once our dreams have flown!

What if men cry, “Your dream is not our own”?

Your soul knows the answer: Go on alone!

Give life your heart! Bless everything that’s grown!

Fear not the loving! All this world’s your own.

Make rich the soil, but once the seed is sown,

Seek freedom, don’t linger: Go on alone!

Walk like a man, even though you walk alone.

Why court approval, once the road is known?

Let come who will, but if they all turn home,

The goal still awaits you: Go on alone!
