Silent Courage.

Days rise and billow over our heads, blanketing us in time,
Sunrise reflects our redemption across these waves sublime.
Bathing us with salty recognition, most welcome and most soft,
Some attempt resistance, but through this water we all waft.

Time, when accused of fear, will vigorously toss us to and fro,
Future is slim and unforgiving, when there's a heavy past in tow.

But opportunity seeks us daily, each new morning that we rise,
Waking us up gently, wiping the sleep from our weary eyes.
Any transgressions have been removed, as far as east from west,
It's in these proven promises, we find our comfort and our rest.

Live your every moment boldly, with solace at your back,
Knowing assuredly the spirit in you, your enemy does lack.

The world as a roaring lion is merely daunting at its best,
'Cause how can something below our feet take our willingness?
Courage lives within us all, and with every breath you take,
You have power to change the world; and in miracles partake.

So be at peace this day and all, every moment of your lives,
Knowing one day in this near future, we will meet up in the skies.
