Gobstopper

[Delta40]

And should I ever see
the child in my own eyes
and realise how beliefs
endure far longer than facts,
I will blunder through
the ravaged village
of my failures,
searching for that sweet shop
to cash in the vouchers
of my experience.
Only in this extreme
shall I be so resolute.

Harden is the wrong word here Delta. It describes the process of becoming hard. In context, what you want to say, is stay hard. "Endure" would be a reasonable substitute.

Live and be well - H

Thanks Hawk. Much appreciated.

This is good Delta - I thought the part about cashing in the vouchers was particularly inspired :)

I agree with ^

[Bar22do]

we should always be aware of the fact

beliefs
endure far longer than facts

this is so well said, here, Delta.

This one should have been titled Everlasting Gobstopper!
