Courage Aaron and Ryan

Slide 1: 

Courage doesn't always roar.  Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow.  ~Mary Anne Radmacher Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.  ~Ambrose Redmoon Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.  ~Winston Churchill "One man with courage makes a majority." — Andrew Jackson, early 19th-century American military hero and U.S. president You can't test courage cautiously.  ~Anne Dillard "Life is a compromise of what your ego wants to do, what experience tells you to do, and what courage lets you do." — Bruce Crampton

Poem “Courage” by Anne Sexton

Slide 14: 

It is in the small things we see it.The child's first step, as awesome as an earthquake.

Slide 15: 

The first time you rode a bike, wallowing up the sidewalk.

Slide 16: 

The first spanking when your heartwent on a journey all alone.

Slide 17: 

When they called you crybabyor poor or fatty or crazyand made you into an alien, you drank their acidand concealed it.

Slide 18: 

Later, if you faced the death of bombs and bulletsyou did not do it with a banner, you did it with only a hat tocover your heart.

Slide 19: 

You did not fondle the weakness inside youthough it was there.Your courage was a small coalthat you kept swallowing.

Slide 20: 

If your buddy saved youand died himself in so doing, then his courage was not courage, it was love; love as simple as shaving soap.

Slide 21: 

Later, if you have endured a great despair, then you did it alone,

Slide 22: 

getting a transfusion from the fire, picking the scabs off your heart, then wringing it out like a sock.

Slide 23: 

Next, my kinsman, you powdered your sorrow, you gave it a back ruband then you covered it with a blanket

Slide 24: 

and after it had slept a whileit woke to the wings of the rosesand was transformed

Slide 25: 

Later, when you face old age and its natural conclusionyour courage will still be shown in the little ways,

Slide 26: 

each spring will be a sword you'll sharpen, those you love will live in a fever of love,

Slide 27: 

and you'll bargain with the calendarand at the last momentwhen death opens the back dooryou'll put on your carpet slippersand stride out.
