It takes Courage to care about each member of the family and the struggles they face! <br /> <br />It takes Courage to care about friends and the daily test they encounter. To let them know you will stand by them through each struggle. <br /> <br />It takes Courage to complete each commitment you make toward others. <br /> <br />It takes Courage to confront the weaknesses in your life and be willing to address needed changes <br /> <br />It takes Courage to confess your thoughtless words or neglectful actions toward a person you love. <br /> <br />It takes Courage to proclaim your faith and convictions to people who are judgmental. <br /> <br />It takes Courage to live each day with Integrity. <br /> <br />It takes Courage to respect others when others show little or no respect for you! <br /> <br />It takes Courage to focus on what remains rather than what you've lost <br /> <br />It takes Courage once you recognize that life is a test and your willing to accept the everyday challenges. <br />© 1999 Gene Bedley<br /><br />Gene Bedley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-takes-courage/
