Courage
Summon the strength
to confront pain, grief;
to endure danger
or the threat thereof.
Campaign with determination
to face a valiant struggle.
Boldly challenge the fear within
to prepare for resistance
with instinctive
physiological response.
Compel a coercive compulsion
to become valid.
Assume risk when others retreat.
Stand for righteousness
in the face of adversity.
This is the nature of courage.
