Something keeps me awake, in the midst of the storm, and makes me want to fight, instead of hide. It lets me take up the battle that others have feared to fight, and diminishes the fear, that has threatened to eat me alive. Courage.... it makes you take a step, when you could have run away, makes you throw stones at the enemy, and watch and wait, it makes you move, when you could have stayed trembling. Courage... It gets you on your feet again, after you have fallen several times it makes you push, when there's no more strength in you and leaves you waiting when there's nothing to wait for. courage doesn't await victory, it works it out. Stay courageous. #P.J

COURAGE
