Courage Poem by Laura Pinnuck

When you can care about others and their issues
When you can receive something and not misuse
When you can lend an ear to listen
When you can accomplish your goal or mission
When you can stand up and be yourself
When it doesn’t matter about your wealth
When you stand by your friends
When after arguments you make amends
When you don’t let others feel small
When you stand up tall
When you care and show understanding
In every stage and coming of age
In this moment, in this time
This is true Courage
