Courage is to still dare to speak and sing,
when anxiety swells the throat like a bee sting.
Courage is to sustain deep respect for life,
even in times when it appears only rife with strife.
Courage is to bear the integrity of the wise;
no less so when truth is accused of being lies.
Courage is a choice that requires to be made,
often in defiance of all considerations weighed.
“Courage is not simply one of the virtues
but the form of every virtue at the testing point,
which means at the point of highest reality. ” ― C.S. Lewis
