The full text of the poem "The Inevitable" is:
"I like the man who faces what he must
With step triumphant and a heart of cheer;
Who fights the daily battle without fear;
Sees his hopes fail, yet keeps unfaltering trust
That God is God,—that somehow, true and just
His plans work out for mortals; not a tear
Is shed when fortune, which the world holds dear,
Falls from his grasp—better, with love, a crust
Than living in dishonor; envies not,
Nor loses faith in man; but does his best,
Nor ever murmurs at his humbler lot;
But, with a smile and words of hope, gives zest
To every toiler. He alone is great
Who by a life heroic conquers fate."
~SARAH KNOWLES BOLTON, "The Inevitable"
The above poem symbolizes that God has a plan for each of us, and honors the man who despite his fate in this mortal life, continues to love and overcome the hardships.
Here Michael may have realized that there could be danger, and he was "Fated", but the hero within battles this, with hopes to conquer any demons that may cross his path.
He left out the "U" in "conquers"...
Original Bible Verse is as follows:
23 Keep your heart with all vigilance,
for from it flow the springs of life.
He changed it from "vigilance" to "diligence"
Matsuo Basho's "Death Poem"
He added and removed several words....
Original poem goes as follows:
Basho's Death Poem
Sick on my journey,
only my dreams will wander
these desolate moors
Original lyrics:
Each Time The Wind Blows
I Hear Your Voice So
I Call Your Name . . .
....This Time Is Forever
Love Is The Answer
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
You appeared wherever I went
In every taste, in every scent
I thought I was in trance
In every quiver I felt your dance
In every sight I saw your glance
You were there, as if by chance.
