An Imperfect Life

poetry by Fr. Harold Macdonald

American Ethic

 

It matters not if we succeed or fail

but how impossible the challenge seems.

Confound the sceptics with one’s mighty dreams

s’a quest more worthy than the holy grail.

Just leap the chasm wide, not yet traversed

and scorn all limits - chaining precedents.

All goals are possible, jump every fence;

the lowest guy another Randolf Hearst.

This is America, no boundary!

Except within the self, (timidity)

where not to try, is sheer stupidity.

No end to what the hero can achieve.

Optimism, super-sized, is how God rules

Lesser expectations are for faithless fools.
