Courage is Our Calling

Courage is a mindset to want always to stand on the right side of history.
Courage is the resolve to do what our conscience tells us is the right thing to do.
Courage is action to lead, follow, or get out of the way according to our abilities.
Courage is the desire to pay our fair share in the cause of justice.
Courage defends our goals and our vision when we know they define us.
Courage helps a child, the poor, the sick, the disabled, the disadvantaged, the elderly.
Courage gives without judging.
Courage speaks with no expectation of reward.
Courage never deals in lies or deceit.
Courage finds inspiration in our heritage.
Courage listens to the wisdom of the ages.
Courage honors our past.
Courage distills our present.
Courage sets the vision for our future.
Courage asks for nothing in return.
Courage is its own motivation.
Courage is its own reward.
Courage is a warrior, a writer, a speaker, a teacher, a scientist, a dancer, a builder, an achiever in life.
Courage is our calling.

A very courageous poem from a very courageous writer. So full of wisdom and thought-provoking that it ought to be engraved and posted for all to see.

A wonderful expression of what makes America great--courage.
