Courage


 

Bravery-

It’s a word you embody more than any other.

You allow yourself to be so vulnerable-

Love look away-

Going to a foreign country-

Leaving your family and friends back home-

For the sake of opportunity and taking a magnificent risk.

You are so strong and brave-

And senior year, too!

This is the time of life where you’re supposed to be unsure-

But you are self-assured and confident

So brilliant and bold-

It’s such an amazing thing- that americans value greatly-

They call it “The American Dream"-

The belief that you can uproot your life and go out and pursue a dream

Many are dumb enough but not brave enough-

You, as I’ve said before, are brilliant!

And you succeeded-

At least in my mind.

I could try, but you’ve made it, darling!

You are one in a million-

A prancing peacock-

A Rockstar-

Sine, you are just so brave!
