Courage

Courage is a mother of any child.
Courage is showing that you care.
Courage is a chemotherapist starting their treatment.
Courage is a breast cancer survivor.
Courage is a firefighter saving a family
And returning to the flames to save their pet.
Courage is smiling when someone is down.
Courage is fighting for what you believe in.
Courage is finding the love in your heart 
For someone less fortunate.
Courage is anyone in their daily lives
Trying to make a difference.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
