Courage Poems

Many situations in life require courage. Because of this, understanding courage becomes important. Having courage when it's needed can mean the difference between a fulfilling life and one of mediocrity or worse.

Summoning courage at just the right moment is a little like a weight-lifting competition. Winning or losing will depend on how many practice reps you do during your training period. So how fit are you? If the thought of doing something scary makes you weak in the knees you probably could use a bit more training.

Training does not always require heavy lifting, but it does require focus. Sometimes reading inspired writings on a particular topic allows people to approach a subject from a different point of view.

Courage Poems / Sri Chinmoy

Courage does not mean

Courage does not mean
That you have to overlook
The hundry wolf.
Courage means
A sleepless yearning to overcome
The fear of the hungry wolf.

-Sri Chinmoy

My Courage

My body-courage
Dares to die.
My soul-courage
dares to live.
my realisation-courage
dares to surrender
cheerfully,
unconditionally,
To god's atisfaction-Will.

-Sri Chinmoy

Courage Poems / Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

COURAGE

CARELESSLY over the plain away,
Where by the boldest man no path
Cut before thee thou canst discern,
Make for thyself a path!

Silence, loved one, my heart!
Cracking, let it not break!
Breaking, break not with thee!

-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Courage Poems / Ann Sexton

Courage

It is in the small things we see it.
The child's first step,
as awesome as an earthquake.
The first time you rode a bike,
wallowing up the sidewalk.
The first spanking when your heart
went on a journey all alone.
When they called you crybaby
or poor or fatty or crazy
and made you into an alien,
you drank their acid
and concealed it.

Later,
if you faced the death of bombs and bullets
you did not do it with a banner,
you did it with only a hat to
comver your heart.
You did not fondle the weakness inside you
though it was there.
Your courage was a small coal
that you kept swallowing.
If your buddy saved you
and died himself in so doing,
then his courage was not courage,
it was love; love as simple as shaving soap.

Later,
if you have endured a great despair,
then you did it alone,
getting a transfusion from the fire,
picking the scabs off your heart,
then wringing it out like a sock.
Next, my kinsman, you powdered your sorrow,
you gave it a back rub
and then you covered it with a blanket
and after it had slept a while
it woke to the wings of the roses
and was transformed.

Later,
when you face old age and its natural conclusion
your courage will still be shown in the little ways,
each spring will be a sword you'll sharpen,
those you love will live in a fever of love,
and you'll bargain with the calendar
and at the last moment
when death opens the back door
you'll put on your carpet slippers
and stride out.

-Anne Sexton
