Courage

Courage
Constant displays of spirit
 Never in the vein of the culprit.
Ongoing capacity to overcome strain
  Never over-run by any sprain
Unrelenting to be broken by failure
 Never undone always finding an answer
Resilient to opposition
 Never defeated demeanor of a chaplain
A temperament  true to one’s morals
  Never at a loss to stand up to evils
Genuine firm determination
 Never weak always a bastion
Enduring tenacity to achieve
 Never give up, with the power to believe
