A Family's Story Of Courage

A boy asked his daddy, "When will I be brave?"

His dad smiled, looked in his eyes, and

here's the advice that he gave

Courage doesn't mean

 that fear will disappear

 Courage is standing tall

 despite what you fear

Say it ever night and live it everyday 

Then you will never ever let fear get in your way

Many years passed the boy became a man

He had an ambitious daughter
 Her vision was wonderfully grand

While studying for her doctorate, she feared her dream would cave

Her father listened to her concerns and here's the advice that he gave

Courage doesn't mean

 that fear will disappear

 Courage is standing tall

 despite what you fear

Say it ever night and live it everyday

Then you will never ever let fear get in your way

She went on to make her mark and raised young men of her own

By then the country was at a crossroads and pessimism was the tone

While visiting, the youngest told her,  He feared the future was quite grave.

She said, "Fear not, my beautiful son". And some advice is what she gave.

Courage doesn't mean

 that fear will disappear

 Courage is standing tall

despite what you fear

Say it ever night and live it in every way

That's how our family has conquered fear each and everyday
