Courage



Days of old,
days of courage,
mighty men,
rushing in the flames,

saving one child,
others cinders,
yet their future will
not go unnamed,

his name is courage
out of the flames,
Lord,
You sent others to
save him so,

that his family will
always be remembered,
one small soul out of the
ashes.
