Courage by Dragonwriter

Courage is
not walking away
Courage is
a flag blowing in the wind
Courage is
the face of a starving child
Courage is
an empty chair
Courage is 
opening a door
Courage is
each and every action.

I found it really interesting to see what you thought courage was (all of the different ways courage comes across.) 
Good job!

Hmmm, "Courage is each and every action"... I take issue with this last line.  There are cowardly acts and there are times when it takes courage to resist the urge to act.   Allow me to suggest a different ending:

Courage is 
when you follow your heart

Hmm... good point, bobchoi. My meaning was more of a 'it takes courage to simply get out of bed' that kind of thing. The line 'the face of a starving child' is courage becuase they're not giving in- they're hopeful things will get better.
