Courage

During a many troubled times we see,
A few brave souls who dare to speak.
They have the courage to stand up tall.
To resist the crowds clamoring calls.
To not be silenced and just go along.
Now I shall leave you with this missive.
It takes the same courage to sit and listen.

"It takes the same courage to sit and listen" You are correct. Following the crowd isn't always best. Those lingering in the shadows are hero's- in more ways than one. They are Brave. Knowing when to speak and when to be silent. Incredible write my dear friend. ~ Brandy
