How much Courage does one need?
From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).
The last such message was: ‘Good Morning Message #151‘.
Good morning Friends,
There is more courage required to live,
Than one requires to face the death;
One needs to have courage to forgive,
Those who almost took away one’s breath.
Looking yourself straight in the eye,
Would also require courage very high.
When everyone has gone the wrong way,
You require courage to stand alone;
There is courage in not going astray,
When everyone’s morality has easily blown.
When everyone is simply prone to lie,
You need courage to hold the truth high.
You require courage to stand against the unjust,
Especially when they bully those who’re meek,
One should be held in great distrust,
If to injustice one turns the other cheek.
Of what use is your courage, my friend
If to others a helping hand you can’t lend?
You require courage to bear the loss,
Of loved ones who are very dear to you;
You require courage to carry the cross,
Of your own sins and those near to you.
You need courage to own up you’ve erred,
In your plans you’d carefully prepared.
One needs more courage than one can imagine.
