Courage

Courage. The guiding hand in the dark; the mark

of a person so fearless and brave; made

into the rhythm of their heart against their chest; the best

way to relax and unwind; rewind

the clock to show you dancing in the rain; the pain

when you notice the stares of strangers; the dangers

of falling into the set trap; clap

back at those who take your smile; dial

the number of your mother to ask for pride; stride

to the beat of your own drum; hum

with the family you found; profound

love within and around; the sound

of a heart with joy and courage.
