Courage is not always loud.
Courage is a walk
around the block,
a public doubling
back, a greeting
of the pizza
delivery driver
as you stretch
your hand out
for cheese pies.It can be quiet
and blushing,
a butterfly lifting
from flowered lips.
Sometimes—often—it’s not being the loudest or the strongest that matters—but instead it’s listening, resting, and caring that counts.
