THERE IS A COURAGE OF DEFIANCE <br /> <br />There is a Courage of Defiance <br />That abhors self- pitying complaint- <br />I do not have it much <br />But I admire it – <br /> <br />In my Old Age <br />I know certain ways in which <br />I would have been different- <br /> <br />But heroic rage <br />Is not mine <br />Even against myself0 <br /> <br />Quietly quietly I complain my pain towards the ground-<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/there-is-a-courage-of-defiance/
