Courage

A Poem

It’s like a flat stone

Which does frog-leaps

On the surface of water

Before going down

The lack of it is

Like a round stone

Which goes straight

Down

It’s like a candle’s

Flame fighting the

Raging wind

Whether it survives

Or not isn’t

Important

But standing up

And putting a

Fight is

Courage is like

Sharp bite from

A tiny ant

It bites to remind

You its presence

And save it’s

Little life

It knows it could

Be killed for that

Even then it puts

Up it’s brave

Little fight

Courage isn’t

Bowing down

In disgrace

But standing firm

On your feet

And lifting up

Your face

And making a

Resolve to face

Whatever may

Come

Courage means

Standing brave

A little longer

Even after others

Give up.
