Courage

Courage..
Is not always to fight
It is to stand against the masses 
for what you feel is right..
It is the willingness to defend
your convictions at all costs..
Knowing you have much
that could be lost..
It is bravery that allows you
to walk away..
Courage is what brings you
back the very next day..
To come back knowing 
the pain and rejection you will feel..
A pain so deep even time cannot heal..
I think I have courage .. most say I am a fool..
Because I keep coming back ..
to fulfill my dreams of you.
You are what keeps me going..
The dream I can never quite reach..
But I will keep trying..
as my courage and love run deep.

To family,, and friends
