Courage

Courage is living with fear-

Living, and doing,

each day,

with fear your companion.

Moving through life

while fear whispers

that you can't and you shouldn't

and still, you move.

Courage is believing,

as you take

one step and then another

and fear at your side.

Courage is knowing

that there may be

no happy ever after,

but there are moments

and they can fill a lifetime.
