Strength
and Courage
Copyright © 1986 by David L. Griffith
It takes strength
to be certain,
It takes courage to have doubts.
It takes strength
to fit in,
It takes courage to stand out.
It takes strength
to share a friend's pain,
It takes courage to feel your own pain.
It takes strength
to hide your own pain,
It takes courage to show it and deal with it.
It takes strength
to stand guard,
It takes courage to let down your guard.
It takes strength
to conquer,
It takes courage to surrender.
It takes strength
to endure abuses,
It takes courage to stop them.
It takes strength
to stand alone,
It takes courage to lean on a friend.
It takes strength
to love,
It takes courage to be loved.
It takes strength
to survive,
It takes courage to live.
May you find
strength and courage
in everything you do,
And may your life be filled with
Friendship and Love!
