Be Brave

A friend and high school classmate is going through some difficult times right now, things out of her control. This is my hope.

Stay strong

be brave

even though

the night is long

Dream of days

without pain

without strife

in many ways

You are brave

in so many way

stay your course

though the days be long

I guide you

from heart to home

within the guide

while it's true

I am far

but never gone

within each other

you can call

You are surrounded

by love so pure

friends and family

in this world

you won’t leave

I know that's true

but please be brave

because I’ve got you

Hi Coll, that last stanza will stay with me; some days that's all I want someone to say to me - 'I've got you.' A lovely poem with a great message.

[Coll Silvermoon]

Thank you, Tess!

You're welcome, my pleasure Coll.

Such short lines, almost brutal in their bluntness but you make it flow and it becomes beautiful. A lovely read.

[Coll Silvermoon]

Thank you! That is so great to hear!

Being the Cancer that I am, once someone comes into my life, they go under my wing... I have large wings. I will protect them. It's part of who I am.

great work

The last stanza is my favorite part.
Nice thoughts in here.
The beginning is very good, too.
Being surrounded by many that care is something a person can cherish.

[Coll Silvermoon]

it gives us strength to know there are others who will protect us, guide us and even help us along this journey of life.

Thanks Josie!

[Josie E. Cook M. A.]

Yes, it does.
You are welcome.
