Courage is looking beyond the things you see today
To see into the hope that lies in tomorrow
And clinging to that vision with both hands.
Courage is taking that first fearful step
Knowing that you may fall
But also believing that you can get back up.
Courage is looking at the nothing on your plate
And picking up that fork anyway
And eating until you're full.
Courage is standing with your back to the storm
And bravely turning around to find the One
Who would come to give you shelter.
Courage is putting your trust and faith
Ahead of your past experiences
Following your heart to find your soul.
Courage is believing beyond the darkness
There is a light shining brightly
And walking toward it.
Courage is spreading your wings after a fall
Dusting off your feathers
And flying off again.
