When Nature 💐🌹🥀🌷🌺 Wants a man

When nature 🌲 wants to drill a man,
and thrill a man,
and skill a man;
when nature wants to mold a man
to play the noblest part;
when she yearns with all her ❤️ heart
to create so great and bold a man
that all the world shall praise,
watch her method, watch her ways!
how she ruthlessly perfects
whom she royally elects;
how she hammers him and hurts him
and with mighty blows converts him
into trial shapes of day which only nature understands
while his tortured heart 💔 is crying 😭
and he lifts beseeching hands,🙌
how she bends but never breaks,
when his good she undertakes,
how she uses whom she chooses
and with every purpose infuses him,
by every art induces him,
to try his splendor out,
nature knows what she's about.

when nature wants to take a man,
and shake a man,
and wake a man;
when nature wants to wake a man
to the futures will;
when she tries with all her skill
and she yearns with all her soul
to create him large and whole.
with what cunning she prepares him!
how she goads and never spares him,
how she whets him, and she frets him,
and in poverty begets him.
how she often disappoints whom she sacredly anoints,
with what wisdom she will hide him,
never minding what betide him
though his genuis sob with slighting,
and his pride may not forget!
bids him struggle harder yet.
makes him lonely, so that only
God's high messages shall reach him,
so that she may surely teach him
what the hierarchy planned.
though he may not understand 🤔
gives him passions to command.
now remorselessly she spurs him
with terrific ador stirs him
when she poignantly prefers him!

when nature ⛈️ wants to
name a man, 🙇
and fame a man,
and tame a man;
when nature 🌫️ wants to shame 🤦 a man
to do his heavenly best;
when she tries the highest test
that the reckoning may bring
when she wants a god or king!
how she reins him and restrains him
so his body scarce contains him
while she fires him
and inspires him!
keeps him yearning, ever burning, for a tantalizing goal luress and lacerates his soul.
sets a challenge for his spirit,

draws it high when he's near it;
makes a jungle 🐦🦢🦚🐛🐞🐾 that he clear it;
makes a desert that he fear it
and subdue it if he can
so doth nature💭⛅🌟🌌 make a man 🙍
then to test his spirit's wrath
hurls a mountain in his path,
puts a bitter choice before him
"climb, or perish!" so she says
watch her purpose, watch her ways!
nature's plan is wondrous kind,
could we understand her mind,
fools are they who call her blind.
when his feet are torn and bleeding,
yet his spirit mounts unheeding
all his higher powers speedings,
blazing newer paths and fine;
when the force that is divine
leaps to challenge every failure
and his ardor still is sweet,
and love and hope are burning
in the persistence of defeat.
lo, the crisis! lo, the shout
that must call the leader out.
when the people need salvation
doth he come to lead the nation.
then doth nature show her plan
when the world has found a man!
Dot not be afraid of temporary defeat, but make sure thet you learn from every such defeat. That which we call "experience" consists, largely of what we learn by mistakes, our own and those made by others but take care not to ignore the knowledge that may be gained from mistakes.
