Courage

When troubles rise up towering
And looming over me
Instead of merely cowering
Pretending not to see
I find it is empowering
For stubborn little me
To see them for just what they are:

Long shadows cast by little things
When light is low and far
Imaginary bullyings
Formed and fattened by fear

We are not afraid of shadows here

Just as a flashlight spears the night
Slicing the darkness everywhere
So confidence will put things right
And courage will conquer despair

Courage is the light: may yours burn bright
