Braver Men
Braver Men
have stalked the earth
for all its precious gold
but I would claim
a higher aim
in riches men don't hold
Greedy Men
have sought to harbor
more than they can haul
but miss the part
that makes the heart
the lightest load of all
Stronger Men
have sailed the seas
in search of the unfound
but I might tip
they turn their ships
for more familiar ground
Aimless Men
have struck for home
and wandered most the world
but I shall rest
supremely blessed
to find home in a girl
Thinking Men
have thought and thought
themselves more than enough
I pity those
who never know
the only prize is love
Foolish Men
have come and gone
to futures ever barren
but I remain
alive to gain
a gem whose name is Erin
