For Courage Is the Light That Shines Within the Darkest



When darkness clouds the soul,
A message of courage can bring us to our goal.
It echoes from the depths within, a voice both strong and clear,
And lifts us from the depths of doubt to face what we must fear.

It calls us forth to face the fray, to rise above the fray,
To stand with heart and spirit strong, and face each new day.
It beckons us to take the leap, to spread our wings and fly,
To reach for all our dreams, and never question why.

For courage is the light that shines within the darkest night,
A beacon that will guide us through, and keep us in the fight.
It gives us strength to face our fears, and conquer all our doubts,
And when we feel we can't go on, it helps us find our route.

It is the spark that ignites the fire within our soul,
And drives us ever onward to our ultimate goal.
It whispers to us in the wind, and in the crashing waves,
And tells us that we're capable of being brave.

So let us all take up this call, and hold it in our heart,
For it is the message of courage that can never be torn apart.
It is the light that guides us through, and helps us find our way,
And leads us to a brighter future, with each passing day.
