Courage Poem

To stand up for what you believe in,
While others may think you're wrong,
You may not always win,
But you're showing you are strong.

The Cowardly Lion faces his fears,
The Tin Man has a heart,
People change throughout the years,
That's what makes us stand apart.

Trying something new you know nothing about,
Or doing something you've always feared,
There is never a doubt,
The reward will be clear.

To stand up for what you believe in,
To face your biggest fears,
And being open to change over the years.
That is Courage.

One man with courage can change the whole world,
And that man could be you.
