It Takes Courage
by Anonymous
It takes courage To refrain from gossip
When others delight in it, To stand up for the absent person Who is being abused.
It takes courage To live honestly Within your means,
And not dishonestly On the means of others.
It takes courage To be a REAL man or a TRUE woman,
To hold fast to your ideals
When it causes you
To be looked upon
As strange and peculiar.
It takes courage
To be talked about,
And remain silent,
When a word would justify you
In the eyes of others,
But which you dare not speak
Because it would injure another.
It takes courage
To refuse to do something
That is wrong
Although everyone else
May be doing it
With attitudes as carefree
As a summer song.
It takes courage
To live according
To your own convictions,
To deny yourself
What you cannot afford.
To love your neighbor
As yourself!
