Bravery

Bravery does not
always wear a cape,
nor does it have to yell.
Sometimes bravery
is so very still,
as it whispers
one day, all will be well.
Bravery is knowing
during the darkest night,
that soon it will be dawn.
Bravery knows it’s not defeat,
to take a breath,
rest a while, and say
tomorrow, I will go on.
