Courage and I

In face of fear, to find the strength to stand, And look upon the danger in the eye, To muster up the courage, heart in hand, And face the challenge, or prepare to die. To know that in the end, you may not win, But still to fight with all the strength you've got, To rise above the fear, to not give in, To stand up tall, to give it all you've got. For courage is not absence of all fear, But rather standing tall in its embrace, To take the challenge, even when unclear, And push ahead with boldness and with grace. So let us strive to have courage each day, And face life's challenges in every way.
