Courage
Courage is a man
Not a god but not human
He stays strong when others won't
He sacrifices himself for the good of others
Courage is a boy
who wants his father to come home
from the horrible incident at the twin towers
He waits with a calm demeanor for another call from his father
but he doesn't get one
Courage is the father
who sits in his office as his world
crumbles to the ground
breaking
crashing
He stays calm even when he knows
he might not see his son ever again
Courage is the mother
who buries an empty casket
but remains smiling
so her son
can move on
Courage is staring death straight in the face
and accepting it
embracing it
Courage is me
and you
and her
and him
Courage is us
