Courage- 2 Poem by Arun Maji

Courage is not about muscle power,
not about sword fight, or gun battle.

Courage is- smiling through tears,
loving with a wounded aching heart,
trusting even after being betrayed,
hoping even when
everything is so dark and gloomy.

Courage is the soil for all human virtues.
Without courage,
none of human virtues can bloom.
Courage is the soul of all human virtues.
Without courage
human is never a human.
