Courage
Courage is the woman who knows a goodbye
 It is the man who walks the steps without a sigh
 And It is the child who holds a truth and 
 (And it is the child who holds a lie but tells the truth)
 
 Courage walks without a shoe
 Soles tattered, ripped and peeled
 But does not teeter (shake) when walking on fields of thorn 
 It does not stomp and it does not march
 It is quiet, and It is calm
 It needs not to be told about its arrival 
 For already its light gleams on every corner
 It walks with a hunched back when there is weak
 It walks with a proud chest when there is strong
 It walks like how a ice would glide through glass
 It walks like how a fish dips through water
 It walks like how a single drop shakes on a leaf 
 it walks like how a single shard falls to the floor 
 It walks like how a tree would sway (dance) 
 It does not quiver and it does not shake
 When approached by the biggest sake
 
 (Of the cry of liberty)
 
 It talks with a voice not so sheer
 But certainly everyone will hear
 For when courage speaks
 Not one gives out a squeak
 And though some try to shut it out
 Its shout is, but no doubt
 The most honest voice
 Not low not high
 Not cold nor warm
 That appears silent
 In the ears of false
 But appears piercing 
 In the ears of truth
 A sway in its voice
 A silence in its pause
 A shudder in its lips
 A roll in its tongue
 
 It smells of sweat and skin
 A membrane lies within
 wrapped in layers of hard work, an effort
 Its odor reaches every snout (one)
 It smells of eggs and rice
 Though frail and small
 Its taste will make one strong
 Of a fish that has been brought up in a net
 Of a bear that seeks it mother earnestly 
 Of a pig that is waiting its death
 A mother cow who has lost her child
 It is brave and it is strong
 It smells of the grass, the green, the earth
 Its nature is certainly recognized to one
 It smells of truth and only truth
 For a lie, It never has one
 It smells of fresh barks of trees
 A lightening that has shattered the sky
 A wave that has hit a shore
 A spark that has let out a fire
 It smells of fresh bricks and cement
 strong but soft
 bitter but addictive
 
 It does not wear any clothing
 It is bare and it is naked
 But does not shiver at the site of cold
 Does not sweat at the stares of others
 It is proud and it is forgiving
 It is good at heart but strict in mind
 Its thoughts are clothed
 In a warm bundle nice and tight 
 For it does not let go of its truth, its mind
 It does not let go of what it believes
 Therefore its clothes of truth,
 The clothes of its belief,
 Is wrapped with bundles of faith and trust
 It is wrapped with courage’s own flesh and blood
 It is wrapped in its hopes and dreams 
 Courage does not have hair 
 Like the head of cancer
 Courage does not have fingernails
 Which prevents him from scratching
 Courage fights fair and square
 He is strong without a cheat 
 
 Courage exists in everyone
 But only some
 Know how to bring it out 
 and does not fail to live without
 Courage is for the one who lives a life
 But not everyone lives a life
 Do you have what it takes?
