What does it mean
To be Brave?
Is it great Courage,
Never fearing the Grave?
Is it going on Adventures,
Leaving the Safety Home ensures?
Is it fighting many Enemies,
Bringing them to their knees?
Is it all of those,
Or perhaps not at all?
What does it mean
To be Brave?
Is it hiding your Fear
To protect those near?
Is it a Smile,
In face of a Trial?
Is it simply standing
For Truth, though it may sting?
Is it all of this,
Or perhaps so much more?
What does it mean
To be Brave?
