Courage is not about
Not being scared
Only fools are not scared
Courage is not about
Recklessly risking everything
For a cause
That will help no one
Courage is not about
Being merciless
To your inferiors
Courage is not about
Power
For although you hold power
Against the weak
For you are still powerless
In front of your superiors
Courage is about
Being terrified
But not showing it
Being there to lead
Being strong
Even when you feel like giving up
I am walking in a dark alley.
Nothing moves. Everything is still.
And then in the still world
Comes out a green snake.
He is a scary snake.
He comes in front of me.
His sharp tongue is shaped
Like the letter V and as red
As the blood that is getting
Pumped out of my heart
The moment I see him.
Don’t panic. Don’t panic
Were the words of my soul.
I could stamp the ground.
It could scare the snake away.
But what if because of the
Fear, it pounces on me
Like a tiger pounces on
A rabbit. It then may even
Inject its venom into my blood
Resulting in my death. No chance.
Well, no need to panic.
My soul assures me.
An animal only attacks
Another animal if it is harmed
I didn’t cause any
Harm to the scary snake.
So I walk backwards as fast
As I can. If the snake comes
After me, I’ll stamp the ground.
Lucky for me, he doesn’t come
After me. I’ll never take this
Road ever again. If I do,
The memory of this incident
Will haunt me with the imagination
Of the snake. That is even if he’s
Not in the road.
‘Cause I’ll be thinking
That he’s waiting in the still bush
Waiting to pounce on me and scare
Me so that I get a heart attack.
I love Christmas
it’s my favourite day all year
it really just makes me want to
give a big cheer!
It makes me think of Jesus
Christmas is great
Oh please, everybody
give a big hip hip hooray
for Christmas!
Harry the shark was scared of the dark
He didn’t know what to do
He had a very strong heart
but was cheeky at the end of the day
People hate cats,
People love dogs,
People hate numbers,
People love letters,
People hate other people,
I love you,
You love me.
