An elusive concept
Or an encompassing one?
An expression of self;
A time when you’re alive, one
with your belief.
A policeman braving bullets
In his quest for truth.
A commoner, unbending
in his abiding integrity.
A child wearing clothes
tattered to school and never
missing a class for wear.
Returning loose change to her mistress
from a wet coat-pocket:
A maid at her honest best.
Never a babbler, even if
it be his future at stake:
A student wearing his truest colours.
Fighting for a cause,
Standing up against another,
Sticking through thick and thin,
Honest to yourself,
Profiles of courage- All.

loved the use of everyday things as examples 🙂
well, i do feel that sticking to what you believe in is courage and that each of us who does it has something more than reflected worth to prop us up.
glad you liked it, aruna 🙂
There are many such sterling examples of courage we find among the unsung heroes. Three cheers for highlighting some of them.

I never thought of it that way, well put!
🙂 thank you, toasty redhead!
