Fight Aging

I will not just sit and wait
For my old age to arrive
But will duck, evade and hustle
And keep the will to strive.

I want to live and to discover
Life's wonders that remain
Feel and taste new experiences
Even those involving pain.

For what possible reason should I 
Embrace the end that is coming
When I can fight and fight again
To keep all my senses humming?

In Praise of the Brave

To go forward without thinking
To rush in where angels fear to tread
To face danger without blinking
Knowing you may live or perhaps lie dead.

To take true love as your benchmark
And use it well to define your life
Treat all adversity as just a lark
And build new dreams from strife

Oh the many hopes and dreams 
Of courageous men and women
Who don't falter in life's streams
But doggedly keep on swimming.

Who for the noble cause of right
Subjugate the normal human yearning
They bear to stand, cold, in the night
And watch their bridges burning.
