Edited Version: That Kind of Courage
It’s the way that you sing
How you fearlessly tremble
It’s the power you bring
As you tearlessly rise
It’s the power you have
To stand up and speak
It’s the source of your power
That only you reach
It’s a well deep inside you
That pools in your words
The glistening thunder
Life in a word
It’s inspirational living,
An unstoppable urge.
How can you sparkle
So connected to others
How is it you smile
And laugh like no other?
I love to feel you;
Your power and song
No other lecture
Can linger so long
It’s the things you can touch
The freedom you bring us
It’s blissful rapture
A sudden spring shower
When you get up to speak
I sit down to listen
We watch you, unwavered
As you demand our attention
You stumble and stutter
And you slip in the rain
You tuck away tears
As you hide away pain
I’ve never been able
To move at your pace
Your strength is astounding
Your perseverance is grace
It isn’t success
Which you eventually reach
But how you never quit trying
To love and to teach
It’s that commitment
That draws me to you
You fail and try harder
Things I’d never do
It’s that kind of courage
I admire the most
It’s your kind of courage
I wish I could boast

Awesome! I don't know who inspired it, but I envy them!
I do like the editing...sometimes just a smip here or a word there can really make things sing, like this!

Very true. I didn't really have one inspiration for this, more like the quality that I see in others and envy.
I can see how that would work as well!
We all learn from everyone we meet in life; thank you for teaching me!
