Courage

The notion to do right
in the face of danger,
like those who went
to the manger.
To put aside all that you value,
to ensure the longevity
of total strangers.
That buzzing feeling
that pushes you onward.
To those who
live vicariously
through satisfaction of,
a job well done.
They define what it is to be courageous
