If I were a man, a young man, and knew what I know today, I would look
into the eyes of Life undaunted
By any fate that might threaten me,
I would give to the world what the world most wanted— Manhood that knows it can do and be;
Courage that dares, and faith that can see
Clear into the depths of the human soul,
And find God there, and ultimate goal…--from: If I Were A Man, A Young Man by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
