What Is Courage

Courage to me means having faith. Without courage I couldn't step into tomorrow. Life isn't easy but it's so worth the journey.

 What Is Courage 

 
What is courage, to stand strong in
your faith,
how can it open doors
sealed so tightly
by our earthly fate?
Courage is stepping outside 
the box,
living your life 
giving all you got.
You try to be perfect
remember God knows,
the extra mile every soul goes.
My success is a reflection
of the master's hand,
from the moment of birth
his glorious plan.
I'm only human
but I breath for a reason,
every moment I live
He created a season.
Not to see me fail
but grow stronger
year by year,
courage to me means
having faith and 
the wisdom to know
the reason we're here.

All writing takes courage because you must expose your soul to the world and let them take pot shots at it. I'm glad you're up to the task! Keep writing the right.
