Courage

It takes courage to fight
But more to accept defeat

It takes courage to try something new
But more to give up something old

It takes courage to move out
But more to move back in

It takes courage to say I do
But more to say I'm done

It takes courage to fall in love
But more to let it go

It takes courage to speak your mind
But more to act on those words

It takes courage to face your fears
But without fears

Would we have courage?

  4. I'm gonna side with Charles on this one. The contrast gives it a depth. You had me hooked on the first line.
