May the Dancer in us move us And the Poet inspire our Song. May the Explorer embolden us And the Artist honor the Beauty that holds us. May we all be Creators and Priests and Nurses and Heroes, And may our Song lift beyond these walls To light the world. -Poem by Robert Bode in honor of Te Deum's 10th season www.te-deum.org  less

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.  less
