Courage in Poetry

In the tapestry of human souls, courage unfurls,

A flame that burns within, in the darkest of worlds.

It's not the absence of fear, but the strength to prevail,

To stand firm in the tempest, to weather the gale.

Courage wears many faces, a soldier on the field,

A child in a new world, refusing to yield.

It's the quiet, steadfast whisper in a mother's lullaby,

And the roar of a crowd who won't let freedom die.

In the midst of uncertainty, courage takes its stand,

With the power to unite, to heal, to expand.

It's the voice of the oppressed, no longer confined,

The dreamer who dares to chase the stars, unlined.

Courage knows no boundaries, no color, no creed,

It's a universal language, a beacon in need.

It's the bridge that connects us, through struggle and strife,

A force that can change the course of a life.

So let us celebrate courage, the heartbeat of the bold,

In the stories we tell and the legends of old.

For in its embrace, we find strength to endure,

To face the unknown, and our innermost core.
