Invictus - Get it in Your Soul, Nelson Mandela.

There is a movie by the name of Invictus, it is about Nelson Mandela and their Rugby team. In the movie Nelson talks about this invictus poem and how it is what kept him going through the 27 years of prison. It is powerful and a great poem to take the time and make part of our lives.
Here is the text of the poem:
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.
~ William Ernest Henley (18491903)
