"We are not afraid of shadows here"


Poem Artwork

Courage

 

When troubles rise up towering

And looming over me

Instead of merely cowering

Pretending not to see

I find it is empowering

For stubborn little me

To see them for just what they are:

 

Long shadows cast by little things

When light is low and far

Imaginary bullyings

Formed and fattened by fear

 

We are not afraid of shadows here

 

Just as a flashlight spears the night

Slicing the darkness everywhere

So confidence will put things right

And courage will conquer despair

 

Courage is the light: may yours burn bright

 

+Steven Curtis Lance
