A hero’s journey often isn’t sought
And unforeseen are many battles fought
But when the call arrives to such an ear
The hero ventures on despite the fear
The glory and the crown is often dreamt
But rugged is the path and oft unkempt
That leads to such an end with victory
Obtained through sweat and toil and misery
Happy is the one who perseveres
In taking on the call to new frontiers
Though suffering, rejoicing on the path
That wins for friends a saving aftermath
