She Carried Courage

She carried

Courage with her

Packaged and

Wrapped up

Neatly in

Bravery

Pulling it

Out

During those

Times

She would need

It.

She carried with

Her too

The gift

Her Daddy

And Grandfather

Gave her

When they

Fought

Long ago

Wars,

A gift

She doesn’t

Take for granted

And never will.

She carries

With her hope

Wrapped neatly

In layers

Of faith

And prayer

Polishing it

Until it shines

A beacon

To the

Lost.
