Courage Poems
Kingdom Of Love
by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
In the dawn of the day when the sea and the earth
Reflected the sunrise above,
I set forth with a heart full of courage and mirth
To seek for the Kingdom of Love.
I asked of a Poet I met on the way
Which cross-road would lead me aright.
And he said: "Follow me, and not long you shall see
Its glittering turrets of light."
And soon in the distance a city shone fair,

A Summer Day
by Lucy Maud Montgomery
I
The dawn laughs out on orient hills
And dances with the diamond rills;
The ambrosial wind but faintly stirs
The silken, beaded gossamers;
In the wide valleys, lone and fair,
Lyrics are piped from limpid air,
And, far above, the pine trees free
Voice ancient lore of sky and sea.

On Quitting
by Edgar Albert Guest
How much grit do you think you've got?
Can you quit a thing that you like a lot?
You may talk of pluck; it's an easy word,
And where'er you go it is often heard;
But can you tell to a jot or guess
Just how much courage you now possess?
You may stand to trouble and keep your grin,
But have you tackled self-discipline?
Have you ever issued commands to you
To quit the things that you like to do,

Love
by Jacqueline Graves
Love is caring and sharing
Love is laughter, grief and pain.
Love is forgiving one another
Over and over again.
Love is tasting the sour,
As well as the sweet.
Love is getting the despondent
Back on his feet
Love can be happiness,
And love can be kind.

Psalm 147
by Isaac Watts
v.7-9,13-18
C. M.
The seasons of the year.
With songs and honors sounding loud,
Address the Lord on high;
Over the heav'ns he spreads his cloud,
And waters veil the sky.
He sends his showers of blessing down

A Colorful Ukraine Flowering

Flowers
bloom in sun
and in mauve shade
So, take heart brave soldiers
Truth lives!
Champions
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
they have what it takes
like sunset colors on blue
strength guts and virtue
like the orange sun
they are natural leaders
in red robin days
like rainbow colors
they have that extra something

How can we leave them behind?
by Dr. Robert Ippaso
Is there a time when friendship does not count,
Where bonds forged in war are callously
forgotten
Is now the time for their suffering to willfully
discount
As a passing blight, a chore ill-gotten?
Is desperation always someone else’s burden,
To be observed but ultimately ignored,
Their fate unclear, easier to draw that curtain

Follow your Heart
by Nimesh Bhandari
Let your heart go where it wants
Let not your rigidity haunt.
Winner is the one who inspite of fear does not daunts,
Take the control and empower you to write your own script and font.
Listen to the music within you
Respond to the artist who is playing the flute.
It might happen that it gets too late,

Coping With Covid
by Bhaskaranand Jha Bhaskar
Caught between Covid teeth
Some fall down;
Some with guts and zeal
Usually stand up.
Among all who exist and rise
Only the fittest survive.
History smiles on paper
As mankind is known for eons
By its immune power—
