The Courage to Step Forward

 

The Courage to Step Forward

12/22/24

 
Having the courage to step forward,
To put yourself out on the line
Is truly a task that’s not easy,
So those that do are mighty fine.
 
They put themselves up at the front
Taking harm that others can’t,
To become the shield, both sturdy and strong,
Planting roots that are steady and fast.
 
Calling out the behavior of others
Is not the most simple of tasks,
And it’s an action that oft’ is ignored
And one the wielder often masks.
 
So, to all of those brave unseen heroes,
It’s time to give a round of applause,
As they stand at the front of a war to be won
Raising high the banner of the cause.
