If you don’t use your experience, your past is wasted, and you are betraying yourself.

I think the sense of family and family achievement, plus the discipline which I received there from that one-room school were really very helpful in what I did later on.

Born in Derry, New Hampshire, Alan Shephard (1923-1998) was an American astronaut, naval aviator, test pilot, and businessman.  In 1961, he became the first American to travel into space.  In 1971, he became the fifth person (and the oldest) to walk on the Moon at the age of 47.

Valor Charging Forward

These poetic verses are inspired by the 1990 American film, “Quigley Down Under.”  Tom Selleck plays an American cowboy and sharpshooter from Wyoming who brings frontier justice to the western Australian Outback.  American composer, Basil Poledouris, displays his talents in writing the musical score for the film.  One of the soundtrack’s selections is found at the end of this post, and you are invited to listen to it while you read the poem.

Hero waiting for cue

Overture now begins

Valor charging forward

Righteousness always wins

 

Passion fights for what’s right

Bold actions taking charge

Lasting spirit conquers

Fearless heart growing large

 

Sense of urgency stirs

Facing climatic test

Battle’s dramatic end

Bravery never rests

 

Crescendo’s big finish

Courage outlasts death’s fate

Justice defeats evil

Fate’s decisive mandate

 

Final mission complete

Story’s exciting end

Exhausted, yet alive

Honor always defends
