Courage Poem by Jacob Courtney

Courage


The words fade away as I try to speak to you.
They run and hide for fear that you will toss
them away like so many others. Words that
would honor you words that would show you
what I feel what I think of you. I hold you in such
a manner that nothing can ever change what
I think of you. Your courage shows any who see
it that you will do what is right. Your will shows
that are determined to accomplish any goal
that you seek for nothing is out of your reach.
Your beauty is a star that shines bright to all
around you even in the light of the sun. You
grace us with your kindness that has shown
us how we all should be. Your faith encourages
any who come in contact with you to take a
second look at our own lives. Your eyes may
tell the story of your past but your heart shows
the present and your soul shows your future.
Your heart is strong and wise. Your soul is
the candle in the dark that helps guide me to
where I should have never left. How I wish
I could say these words and not let them
escape from my grasp.
