Poem
Courage Courage gives us the strength to jump life's gaps But the unknown road to courage has no maps For most it stays locked away somewhere inside They never discover that place where it finds to hide Courage is locked away and the key to it they never find Fear keeps them from the key hidden in a corner of their mind The path of life has many a strange trail Lacking courage is why many of us fail I don't know where it is that courage has been stowed It kind of follows along emotions tough road Sometimes your conviction to anger it stops Other times, right beside fear, it just plops Courage takes no sides, no favorites that it plays It can be impressive, or simple as a kiss some days But courage lays there inside of us all Waiting for each one of us to make the call When we summon up courage to come to our aid What most consider impossible, we see get made Courage can be there in our darkest hours But we must call on courage and make it ours The simplest fact is that good or bad All those life changing days we've all had They put a marker on our path in life We hope the next life change brings us no more strife A hand full of days change us and makes us who we are Shapes us into what we've become, and puts us on our par It makes us what everyone sees and shapes how we speak when we talk Put us on the path in life that we walk They usually happen on big event days Getting married, and our first kid changes our ways But they happen on days that seem like nothing that day Yet they can be so huge that they take our breathe away The point is, courage is something that you can't buy It's inside us, find it or don't there is no try If we don't, if we are weak and we pale If we don't find our courage, then we fail Courage is required for everything we seek Even more to win Love, for when there we're weak The wind never catches in Love's sail If we don't find our courage, even at Love we fail!
