Courage is Never a Roar

Courage is Never a Roar

Courage is always unspoken,
though gallant the sounds that would soar.
For bravery travels in silence.
Its melody never a roar.

If Courage would cause a commotion,
announcing the battles it’s won,
the badge would no longer be valid.
Its claim to the title, undone.

A climber at top of the mountain
does not thirst for any applause.
Alone, celebrates this endeavor
for stardom was never his cause.

The bravest proceed on their journey,
accomplishing missions with pride.
Humility utters not whisper
of valor that fosters inside.

While many will boast of their grandeur
and claim many feats as their own.
They speak to the crowds about Courage,
the one thing they never have known.

A hero embraces this honor
yet never hangs medal on door.
Just walks hand in hand with the knowledge
that Courage is never a roar.
