Courage - a poem by Amelia Earhart


Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace,
The soul that knows it not, knows no release
From little things

Knows not the livid loneliness of fear
Nor mountain heights, where bitter joy can hear
The sound of wings

How can life grant us boon of living, compensate
For dull gray ugliness and pregnant hate
Unless we dare

The soul’s dominion? Each time we make a choice, we pay
With courage to behold the restless day
And count it fair.
_ Amelia Earhart
