Courage My Love

Courage my love
Your guide in the darkest hours
In harsh cold winters
When winds screech and silence howl
In fortitude of life to come

Courage my love
To raise your voice in defence
Of the weak and the oppressed
When it seems safer to
Simply sit down in silence

Courage my love
To face your greatest weaknesses
And your deepest fears
When denial and pretending
Seems the easier thing to do

Courage my love
To accept and share your greatness
So that others may celebrate
The gift that you are
In the lives of those you love
