Courage and Strength

It takes strength to be firm,
It takes courage to be gentle.

It takes strength to conquer,
It takes courage to surrender.

It takes strength to be certain,
It takes courage to have doubt.

It takes strength to fit in,
It takes courage to stand out.

It takes strength to feel a friend’s pain,
It takes courage to feel your own pain.

It takes strength to endure hardships,
It takes courage to overcome the struggle.

It takes strength to stand alone,
It takes courage to lean on another.

It takes strength to love,
It takes courage to be loved.

It takes strength to survive,
It takes courage to live.

Life is worth fighting because it empowers us with abiding strength,                                          Courage is waking up everyday with the determination to fight.

Don’t be afraid to face the battle head-on,                                                                                       Hiding from life’s difficulties only revels our cowardness.

The triumph over the war will be well worth it,                                                                          Providing each of us the strength of integrity from deep within.
