Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Of Courage and Bravery

              Is it courageous to stand out from the crowd
                  to wear or do what others don’t and won’t
              to support the unpopular, unbowed and uncowed 

              Is it courageous to be different from those around you 
                  when all are married, to stay single 
                      during an epidemic to mix and mingle

              When the stock marked plummets, you re-invest instead of save
                  ~ Now that takes pluck and luck, marks you as truly brave
