COURAGE IS HOPE'S LAST FRIEND <br /> <br />Courage is Hope's last friend <br />Against all the fear and failing that we know <br />The inevitable declines and losses of Old Age- <br /> <br />Courage alone <br />Indifferent to odds and probabilities <br />Scorning terrible certainties <br />Can lift us from Doom and Depression <br />To carrying on for those we love <br />With dignity <br />Through the difficult end.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/courage-is-hope-s-last-friend/
