Notes About The Poem

Courage

Brave like the sun
Who always rises, despite
The darkness
With its black lies – its shadows
Sadness like the cold gray clouds
Hovering just beyond the mountains

She is brave like the wind
Blowing across the memories,
Healing fears, erasing tears
with gusts of hope, raging across the
anxieties, the panic
with sincerity, faith, amity

Brave like the snow
Breathing a chill through the heart
Arriving on the birth of winter
Despite the fact that it will melt
When the sun shines its light
Over the bitter whisper of its glistening

She is brave like the prayer
Seeking kindness, 
Despite the pain and sadness,
The melancholy that colors the spirit
In hues of doubt, faded grief
Despite the desolation – she prays
For hope, faith, love that believes
Despite fears, tears
The dejection of wretched years

Brave like love – she goes on, moving
Past the echoes of pain, the silhouettes of shame
She continues – through everything!

This beautiful poem Regina is surely a tribute to both men and women that battle with constant pain and manage to over come it and still raise a smile. Delightfully Written and very moving. Superb.
