It Takes Courage

Posted by Unknown On Wednesday, February 9, 2011 0 comments
I came across the following poem in my archives. It is a simple poem that has much power and strength in its emphasis through its clever use of contrasts. I hope it can inspire you in whatever situation you may face. Take care and have a lovely day!



It takes strength to be firm,
It takes courage to be gentle.

It takes strength to conquer,
It takes courage to surrender.

It takes strength to be certain,
It takes courage to have doubt.

It takes strength to fit in,
It takes courage to stand out.

It takes strength to feel a friend's pain,
It takes courage to feel your own pain.

It takes strength to endure abuse,
It takes courage to stop it.

It takes strength to stand alone,
It takes courage to lean on another.

It takes strength to love,
It takes courage to be loved.

It takes strength to survive,
It takes courage to live.
