From Rachel's Research for a School Project


Courage

Courage is the price which life exacts
for granting peace.
The soul that knows it not, knows no
release
From little things;

Knows not the livid loneliness of fear

Nor mountain heights, where bitter
joy you can hear
The sound of wings.

How can life grant us boon of living,
compensate,
For dull gray ugliness and pregnant
hate
Unless we dare

The soul's dominion? Each time we
make a choice we pay
With courage to behold resistless day

And count it fair.

- Amelia Earhart
