To arise each morning with anxiety
And still dress yourself well
Eat a good breakfast
Then drive yourself there
Is not only strength
It is courage
Knowing the state of the world
The state of your own life
And still function well
Throughout the day
Is not only competence
It is courage
Doing the work with all it takes
To handle the concerns
The myriad of duties
And do them well
Is not only excellence
It is courage
To continue to live
Your life well
And to love well
Under all circumstances
Is simply this:
It is courage!
