Notes About The Poem

Courage

Courage

Courage is what you have 
when you have only two choices left. 
One of them to accept fate, 
and the other to cheat it, 
beat it, 
unseat it... 
meet it halfway, 
and then knock it back across the line.
That is to say, 
whatever "it" is. 

Size does not matter, 
when the intent is right and good. 
David was never afraid, 
as the Lord was with him. 
He knew he could defeat the giant, 
it was only a matter of how hard, 
the evil would fall, 
from way up high on its pedestal, 
down to the hard ground, 
where it belonged
to begin with.  

Have courage, 
and pray. 
You will then be, 
never fighting 
alone.
