Give Me The Courage

Give me the Courage ...

To love unconditionally,

To lead with conviction,

To see what's right and what's not,

To fight the right battles, 

To understand the little untruths spoken,

To seek the truth in everything, 

To understand always,

To see the world as it is now,

To know that it may not be the same anyhow,

To rise yet again after falling,

To seek only truth even in despair,

To help always a friend or foe alike, 

To feel the dewdrops on harshest days,

To stand tall when everything is falling down,

To smile when tears are pushing through, 

To sense love under the garb of criticism,

To touch the thorns inside me and yet find peace, 

To taste success and failure in my stride, 

To help someone even when they don't know they need it,

To grow as a person and enrich lives, 

To accept me as me...
