Courage - Aavansh Gupta

 Courage is to control fear in a situation that may be dangerous or

unpleasant. You can swim in oceans, climb up mountains or go to

space. But the main point is that not everybody dares to do

that. Everybody wants comfort. You can choose courage or

comfort, but you can’t choose both. 

So, let me share a self-composed poem that could inspire everyone reading.

THIS IS COURAGE

YOU CAN USE IT AT ANY AGE

WHETHER YOU ARE A SIMPLE MAN OR A SAGE

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS COURAGE

IF YOU ARE A CHILD

NOT EVEN TEN

AND SEE YOUR FRIEND GOING

INTO A DANGEROUS-LOOKING DEN

DO NOT RUN AWAY

AND QUICKLY GO AND SAY

YOU ARE GOING THE WRONG WAY

NOW COME WITH ME AND PLAY

IT WILL SAVE THE BOY

FROM GETTING EATEN BY A LEONINE

IF HE JUST SAYS THANK YOU

THAT IS ALSO FINE

YOU HELPED THE BOY

HE WILL RETURN THE FAVOUR TO YOU AT ANY AGE

YOU HELPED THE BOY FEARLESSLY

THIS IS CALLED COURAGE
