The Impossible Dream

DON QUIXOTE:
To dream the impossible dream...
To fight the unbeatable foe...
To bear with unbearable sorrow...
To run where the brave dare not go...
To right the unrightable wrong...
To love, pure and chaste, from afar...
To strive where your arms are too weary...
To reach the unreachable star...
This is my Quest:
to follow that star,
no matter how hopeless,
no matter how far...
To fight for the right
without question or pause...
to be willing to march into Hell
for a heavenly cause!
And I know, if I only be true
to this glorious Quest,
that my heart will lie peaceful and calm
when I'm laid to my rest.
And the world will be better for this,
that one man, scorned and covered with scars,
still strove with his last ounce of courage
to reach the unreachable stars.
