No Courage


It took no courage

to walk in the wind

leaves crunching beneath my feet


It took no courage

to laugh at a distance

with new friends


It took no courage

to send the wasp on it’s way

He tried to nibble my cookie!


It takes no courage 

to slip my mask on my face

matching my outfit or not.


It takes no courage

to listen and learn

about how simple it is.


It takes no courage

to wash my hands

in water warm and bubbly


It takes no courage

to be kind, to be calm

to be safe for everyone else.


“Scared is what you’re feeling. Brave is what you’re doing.”
