I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul

Invictus

BY WILLIAM ERNEST HENLEY

Out of the night that covers me,

      Black as the pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

      For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

      I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

      My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

      Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

      Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

      How charged with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate,

      I am the captain of my soul.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day from Weezy and Friends!

Today to celebrate Weezy, Marisa and a friend went to the Lyric Opera in Chicago to see The Sound of Music.  It was really quite fantastic.  They had a good balance of giving both a nod to the movie and the traditional Opera, which was a nice production.  Being Weezy's first musical (other than Frozen of course), he was quite impressed!

Keeping up with the trends!
