Courage

Courage

                              The sighs of the wake in the morning
                                        The up in the sky
                      The colour of rainbow striking the sky with no fear
                            The air to breathe…through tribulations,
                                 And the courage never to weep

                                     to speak ill of the world
                                           Needs courage
                               But fortunately, or unfortunately
                                  everybody has that courage
                                        to love the world
                               as one's very own possession
                                          Need courage
                                         Unfortunately
                                   Most of us are wanting
                                      In that courage 
                               the courage  of the heart
                               the courage of the soul...
                                      we badly need.
