Courage and Strength

Cheryl Lowe

Free verse
Courage hides itself under the thick skin of fears
Release it when needed
Fortitude is vital as worry nears,
When life has gone cold no matter how you pleaded

Your resilient soul must fight now,
As it has never done before
Take a stand even though you may not know how,
This is your life’s struggle
Your fate’s war
