Courage Poem by Gert Strydom

Courage



Even when the greatest ship
of her time
sank in a sea of ice,

even when man’s
reach into outer space
exploded with his rocket ship
in a ball of orange flame,

still the human spirit
did arise to sail the sea again
and to set his mark on the moon.

Above all disasters, setbacks and impediments
courage towers to infinity.
