Be Brave

A poem on motivation and finding that source of inspiration to guide us through.

The first time when you took a step,
You stumbled, fell down and often wept.
Two hands always soothed the pain,
Pushing you to try again.

Your first day at your new school,
You felt lonely and others judged you too soon.
A friendly smile and that understanding nod,
Motivated you to keep going back for more.

The first time when you stood on stage,
Trying to deliver a speech self-made.
The cheers and the supporting voices backstage,
Encouraged you to be confident and brave.

Then came the time when love walked in,
Making everything else seem dull and dim.
It broke your heart to see it leave,
Along with it came friendly support to keep you from being meek.

Time and again tempests have come,
Raising many questions.
Raging a storm in the heart,
Leading you towards new starts.

Challenges and hurdles will follow,
Some will result in happiness and some in sorrow.
Some are near and some are distant,
Testing and trying our strength and readiness.

Each sharing the same essence yet teaching a lesson of its own,
To be brave, humble and keep marching on.
