Dr. Anne’s Poets Corner
Courage Lies In The Heart
Anne Sourbeer Morris (1992)
As I encourage my child to PURSUE new ventures,
I give her the COURAGE to risk failure;
To fall to the ground and to fly again.
As I encourage my child to LEARN that which is new,
I give her the COURAGE to be open to new ideas;
To see the beauty in a world of diversity.
As I encourage my child to EXPLORE the unknown,
I give her the COURAGE to challenge herself;
To do what she has never done before.
As I encourage my child to THINK for herself,
I give her the COURAGE to grow;
To find the strength to stand behind her beliefs.
As I encourage my child to FOLLOW her dreams,
I give her the COURAGE to know what’s in her
heart and to soar!
To love life.
