Here are some notes I jotted down. I was thinking about filling in some gaps I perceive.

If you can call the good you get a blessing–
Give thanks for it as being heaven-sent
But never let the bad your mind start messing
Or make you doubt that all things are well-meant

If you can stand before all with your head up
But bow whenever under a command
And never need with upraised fist to get up
And need no proof to prove that you’re a man

Just some rough ideas. I have others. What gaps do you see?
