Notes About The Poem

Courage

Courage

C Calamities may strike at morning, noon
O Or any odd hour, but inner strength, 
U Urges action in the face of fear!
R Realizing that it is you and the time is now,
A actually shows that fear can be defeated! 
G Give the calamities your all and all,
E Even when it is bad determination is required.

Treat every obstacle you meet as the way, a quote by Marcus Aurelius, enjoyed reading your Acrostic poem Miranda.

Calamities may occur in life quite unexpectedly. Losing courage on such occasions is quite natural. But timidity won't do any good. Grit, determination and instant action will help. Powerful and inspiring acrostic, dear Miranda.

Good one Miranda - I agree, one has to deal with things, and sometimes you need to screw up some courage!
