Courage - Limerick

"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear -- not absence of fear." - Mark Twain A courageous old knight found that there'd still come times when anxiety flared but he'd learned through the years that to conquer one's fears, one must not be afraid to be scared

Thanks, Kim. As you are aware, I am the Queen of All Limericks however, this being a self appointed position, there is always room for more royalty. As it happens, I decided to enter the contest like one day too late but Andrea said she'd try to post my write on her blog when she announces the winners. She's so cool
