Courage Has Claimed Me

I know I can stand
against the pitch-black eye of evil
without a flinch or shudder.

I feel that I can face
the world's most angry hurricane
and walk right through it.

I am not ashamed
to be crafted in His image
for He is inside me.

I can learn to forgive
and paint a realistic masterpiece
that speaks the power of love.

I finally see the sun
and understand how to embrace
I can make this last.
