Where do I get the courage? <br />Where do I get the courage to go on living again? <br />To come out of my shell? <br />To pray again? <br />To smile? <br />Where do I get the courage to sing again? <br />Or laugh? <br />Where do I get the courage to go out again? <br />To relax again? <br />To breathe? <br />Where do I get the courage to love again? <br />To be free again? <br />To cook again? <br />Or look at the blue sky again? <br />Where do I get the courage to write again? <br />To wipe out the bad memories? <br />And put the past behind? <br />Where do I get the courage to make new friends? <br />Or watch flowers grow in the garden? <br />Where do I get the courage to write a letter to you? <br />To save money again? <br />Or read books? <br />I find it <br />Day by day.<br /><br />Aldo Kraas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/courage-25/
