TAKE your troubles <br />Best you can. <br />Stand right up <br />And play the man. <br /> <br />Face 'em just <br />As though you knew <br />You were coming <br />Safely through. <br /> <br />Blows will hurt <br />And bruise you, maybe, <br />But don't whimper <br />Like a baby. <br /> <br />Stand right up <br />And be a man. <br />Meet your troubles <br />Best you can.<br /><br />Edgar Albert Guest<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/play-the-man-2/
