Courage

You try to find the courage.

It’s hard to turn the page.

But every time that you do

Know that you are stronger, my love.

The world will try to hurt you.

It will try to take you down.

If it’s feeling up to it,

It wouldn’t mind letting you drown.

But my love,

My darling,

You are stronger than this.

You have faith,

You have hope,

You have life and those are gifts.

I know you fear the future,

I fear the past.

But I know, my darling,

That we can make this love last.

We have the courage,

To both take on the world,

As long as your hand is in mine,

I know I’ll be safe.
