Finding Your Courage

Finding the route to success so many think they know but even when they feel there the sign says you cannot go They are many failures in life but fatality isn't the final straw one can rise to get up again find your equalizer to gain a draw Within your heart look within see that courage so deep catch your grip hold on tight watch courage swell so to keep At the end of your day be bold keep on going on fill yourself with courage full standing tall before the dawn (Quote Prompt: "Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts". WINSTON S. CHURCHILL)
