Courage

Read my words and I hope it gives you a bit of courage

We’ve all laughed, learned, loved, and lost

Some days the negative experiences may take over our actions and thoughts

Truth be told we are human beings; not always able to stay so strong

But what do we really get out of focussing and stressing over the wrong?

I mean life goes by so fast, but it’s up to us to make it count

Give our best everyday to the greatest amount

And erase any sense of self doubt

Remember that for everything you have lost and every failure endured

You have gained something else rest assured

Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage

Read my words and I hope it gives you a bit of courage
