Courage,

It’s a big word,

Where does it come from?

And what does it mean?

Does courage come from inside?

Does it come from outside?

Does it come from me?

Does it come from you?

Courage,

It’s a big word,

What does it mean?

Does it mean hope?

Does it mean love?

Does it mean sadness?

Does it mean loss?

Courage,

It’s a big word,

Where does it come from?

Does it come from family?

Does it come from friends?

Does it come from the sky?

Does it come from the stars?

Courage,

It’s a big word,

What does it mean?

Does it mean strong?

Does it mean weak?

Does it mean hurt?

Does it mean hang on?

Courage is hope for each passing day,

The love that we show,

The sadness we show,

The hope we show,

The smiles we show,

Everyday we need courage,

It’s a big word,

Where does it come from?
