Copyright 2007 Helen WangCourage is to speak the truth
when the truth is hard to tell;
when the truth is hard to tell;
Courage is to stand up for what’s right
even if it’s unpopular;
Courage is to go beyond the convention
and challenge the unchallengeable;
Courage is daring to be hopeful
while there seems no hope.
Nice one, Helen. Every line is true. I love your icon. You have a beautiful smile.
Excellent poem! Courage is what makes cowards into heroes.
It’s exceptionally hard in today’s politically correct world … but you’re right. If you see something as truth, have the courage of your convictions. The worst that can happen is that one day you’ll have to say, “I was wrong.” 🙂 Great poem/
Thank you Helen. I really needed to hear that poem tonight. Loved it.
PS Janet sent me over to read your poem. It was worth passing on … that says a lot 🙂
