Bravery

4 Apr 2020

Be brave in the face of the wind

For all it can do is blow

The raging gusts can hurt, can push

But it can never knock you down

Be brave in the face of the rain

For all it can do is fall

The tempestuous storm can beat you down

But it can never beat your ability to fight

Be brave in the face of the tide

For all it can do is flow

The awful surge may knock you down

But the surge will always recede

Be brave in the face of the mob

For all they can do is shout

Their words can pierce your mind

But they can never pierce your skin

Be brave in the face of everything

For all it can do is change

Everything will be different in time

But that does not take away your ability to adapt
