Courage

A definition of courage found on the internet is: “The ability to face danger or difficulty or pain even if you are afraid.” I think this is true because choosing to be courageous is the right thing to do even when you are afraid.

Martin Luther King Jr. once said “We must build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear.”

We all have fear but we have to decide to face it or not.

An example of courage is Eric Liddel when he risked his life to get coal for the hospital to save the lives of the people there during World War 1.

This is a poem that I liked                                                    Courage

Courage is what makes us
Courage is what divides us
Courage is what drives us
Courage is what stops us

Courage creates news
Courage demands more
Courage creates blame
Courage brings shame

Courage shows in school
Courage determines the cool
Courage divides the weak
Courage pours out like a leak

Courage puts us on a knee
Courage makes us free
Courage makes us plea
Courage helps us flee

                                                                                               Corey Fauchon  

      This poem makes me think of Bravery, daring, guts, grits, determination, fearless, nerve, pluck, prowess, spirit. 

My favourite line in the poem is “Courage is what make us” The other day I was looking for some pegs when a snake jumped out of the grass I yelled at my little sisters to get inside. I wanted to protect them because I knew it was dangerous, it happened so quickly that I didn’t even think of being scared. I could’ve freaked out but I didn’t. My parents were so proud of me for being so courageous

Joshua 2:11

When we heard of it, our hearts melted in fear and everyone’s courage failed of you, for the Lord your God is God in heaven and on earth below.

Because they trusted in God, God helped them even though they were scared.

Courage

A definition of courage is:"The ability to face danger or difficulty or pain, even when you are afraid."

 Mark Twain said "Courage is resistant to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear. " I think this is true because you can still do brave things even though you feel afraid.

A poem I found on the internet that I liked was:

Life is a Courage

Courage to do something extraordinary,

Courage to fight with diseases,

Courage to make people stand on their own,

Courage to believe in someone,

Courage to fight against all odds

Suruchi Puri

 

This poem makes me think of all the things that courage means; bravery,daring,heroism,nobility,bravado,heroics,gallantry,nerve and pluck.

Joshua 1:6 says " Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them". Joshua was scared but he had to trust God to help him to do the courageous thing. The most courageous person I read about was Mary Slessor when she braved sickness, danger and death in a country far away from her own by herself during the 1800's.
