COURAGE.
To fight for those we hold so dear,
To battle with q purpose clear,
To face the rain OF shot and she'll
To charge into a seething he'll
Takes greatest courage
To face the world and dare DO right,
To stand not IN reflected light.
To choose ones path despite the 5eers,
To work for duty, not for cheers.
Takes determined courage
To shape each hour around a plan.
To use each second as best We can.
To stand for truth, and home. and love,
To trust all 20 the Power above,
Takes sweetest courage.
To suffer for conviction's sake.
To give your best and have 20 take
All OF scorn. disdzin, and hate.
To die-or else to live and wait.
Takes noblest courage
To venture 10 some unknown shore.
UnheRTd or but for ancient lore.
To try and plant sweet freedoms name,
For msnkind's good and not for fame,
Takes unselash courage.
But II faith and love our hands 20 stretch,
TO some poor, fallen, fainting wretch.
To help him on in spite Of sneers.
To cheer his efforts, stay his tears.
Takes Gods own courage
