Courage



For everyone I know who could use a dose of courage in their lives to face a fear, fight a battle, and traverse the unknown. For my daughter, Hannah, and my fellow colleagues, we are in this together.

Courage
by Hannah Clayton
circa Spring 2003

What is courage?
Courage is something
Deep inside everyone.
Courage is that tiny yearning to be
Something bigger and better.
Courage is the naturalness of dancing
Along the lines of risk and danger.
Courage is living honestly in your dreams
Rather than dishonestly in the dreams of others.
Courage is having doubts
When everyone else is so certain.
Courage is being different
And not living up to anyone's expectations.
Courage is taking that extra step out into the unknown...
Not even thinking what lies ahead.
Courage is living...when all your required to do is survive.
