Courage isn’t a brilliant dash,
A daring deed in a moment, a flash;
It isn’t an instantaneous thing
Born of despair in sudden
It isn’t a creature flickered hope
Or the final tug at a slipping rope;
But it’s something deep in the soul of a man
That is working always to serve some plan.
Courage is the strength to stand up
When it’s easier to fall down and lose hold.
It is the conviction to explore new horizons
When it’s easier to believe what we’ve been told.
Courage is the desire to maintain our integrity
When it’s easier to look the other way.
It is feeling happy and alive, and moving forward
When it’s easier to feel sorry for ourselves and stay.
Courage is the will to shape our own world
When it’s easier to let someone else do it for us.
It is the recognition that none of us are perfect
When it’s easy to criticise others.
Courage is the power to step forward and lead
When it’s easier to follow the crowd;their pleas resound.
It is the spirit that places you on top of the mountain
When it’s easier to never leave the ground.
The foundation of courage is solid,
The rock that doesn’t roll.
Courage is the freedom of our body,mind and soul!
