Courageous People

People like this are,
few and far inbetween,
yet they are everywhere,
courage to stand up,
for beliefs,
yet no courage to say thank you,
when a door is held open,
just for you,
being courageous is more, 
than just sticking up for others,
it's doing the things that are hard,
someone who is grateful,
has courage.
