Courage

Courage animates us
Brings us to life
Makes everything possible
Yet, courage is the rarest quality in the human person

Courage is the absence of fear
Fear paralyses the human spirit
Courage is the capacity never to be afraid
Courage is the fear that has said its prayers

Courage is required by practicing courage

Anything is possible
Whatever your dream is
Make it happen

Have courage
Start today
Amazed what life gives you
In return for a bit of courage

Enjoyed your poem :) eve I sometimes wonder if I have that feeling.I have stood up to men that strike their wife’s or a dog barking at a sneak and get him away so it won't get bit when I am afraid of snakes, but it always make me wonder if I would be like Peter when asked if he was a friend of Jesus
