Living Requires Courage

Success
is not easy
you try

Trying
unsuccessful
you fail

Failing
you stop to dream
hope lost

Losing
you give up life
and stop

Stopping
life slips away
slowly

Slowing
time pass you by
it moves

Moving
fast with the flow
of life

Living
requires courage
to bear

Bearing
Life's challenges
that come

Coming
with each new day
you live
