A Message of Courage to Behold

Oscar Auliq-Ice 1994 (Port Elizabeth)



Amidst the chaos and the strife,
When hope seems lost, and fear is rife,
There shines a message, clear and bold,
A message of courage to behold.

It speaks of strength and resilience,
Of the power of the human will,
Of rising up from every fall,
And standing tall, through it all.

It tells of heroes, brave and true,
Who fought for what they knew was due,
Who faced their fears with grit and grace,
And left a legacy in their place.

It speaks of dreams that can come true,
Of new beginnings and breakthroughs,
Of taking risks and venturing forth,
And discovering one's own true worth.

It reminds us that we have a choice,
To listen to our inner voice,
To take a stand and make a change,
And break free from our limiting range.

It urges us to keep the faith,
To trust that life will find a way,
To never give up on our dreams,
And let our spirits soar and gleam.

For in this message lies the key,
To unlock our true destiny,
To live a life that's bold and bright,
And shine like stars in darkest night.

So hold this message close and dear,
And let it guide you without fear,
For in its wisdom, you'll find the strength,
To go the distance, at any length.
