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.
