Strength and Courage


          It takes strength to be firm; it takes courage to be gentle.
          It takes strength  to stand guard;  it takes courage to  let down
               your guard.
          It takes strength to conquer; it takes courage to surrender.
          It takes  strength to feel  a friends  pain; it takes  courage to
          feel your own pain.
          It takes  strength to hide  your own pains;  it takes  courage to
          show      them. 
          It takes strength to endure abuse; it takes courage to stop it.
          It takes strength  to stand  alone; it takes  courage to lean  on
               another. 
          It takes strength to love; it takes courage to be loved.
          It takes strength to survive; it takes courage to live.
