[hometext] => Do you have courage of heart? Do you have personal courage? Do you have courage of your integrity and convictions?
[bodytext] => Sir Winston Churchill said of courage, "Courage is the first of the human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees all the others!" The word courage denotes the quality of being strong, bold, daring, valiant. Courage is the opposite of fear, timidity, cowardice, and not gallant. There are many different kinds of courage. Such as the difiance of physical danger, of this cat's courageous passage!  The act of courage on this cat's part is also known as nerve. spunk, or backbone! He knows full well, that any moment those dogs are planning on writing him a "tombstone!" Yet, in the face of death, he refuses to give in, A very daring cat, willing to take that chance losing or win!  There is also another kind of courage that lives within yourself. A battle with Cancer, constant dizziness, Arthritis, or perhaps like this gentleman, who is not able to put his handicap on a shelf It takes much courage with tenacity, endurance, and heroic achievement to go on like this.......... Awakening each day with the quality of his life, takes bravery, for this he cannot dismiss!  This little lady riding on this bus is Rosa Parks She had a very special kind of courage, she lived down South and all her life, because she was black, she was forced to live in bondage! She had much faith and courage of her convictions, for one day she decided she would no longer sit in the back of the bus! She had courage of integrity and was willing to pay the cost even if it meant viciousness! She was taken to jail, and fingerprinted, but she never budged from her goal! If need be she was well prepared to give up her soul! She wanted her freedom, and if it meant taking her life, so be it........ She was tired of sitting in the back of the bus just because her skin was black, she knew she wasn't any different than us! Courage today is so necessary, for we live in a society that may guide you in the wrong way! Are you willing to have courage of your beliefs, and not stray from what you believe? It takes much courage to turn away from all the peer pressure, for goals to achieve. Courage of heart seems to be the most difficult for us all today! Keeping love in your heart, and goodness in your soul, no matter how badly you've been treated, never stop loving in abundance each and every day! Created by Cheri Cam LeBren January 2004 "Live your life with a courageous heart, and a bold soul, and you'll be blessed a hundred-fold!"

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
