Courage

Yes indeed, the time draws near when we must volunteer to risk our lives, face our fears And use and create what was given us through the years That rebellious spirit our enemies fear The intestinal fortitude to stay on the horse when it rears The bravery to land on the sands of far away lands And receive the orders to go forward with gun in hands At this time something inside you whispers, i am a man speaks, I am a man. shouts, I AM A MAN! I am a man

This is poewrful, John. A call to arms met with the courage written into this is perfect. I have a niece and a friend in Iraq doing there best with the rest to bring change and order to a place so in need of it. Great piece of writing! Love, Robin

Great write. Courage is reacting despite fear. This was like reliving my old drill sargeants speeches/rants! Excellent write. ~Des Juan
