Only Courage Remains
Musings from Sweet Revenge

by

    When justice is only a word blackened with lies
   only courage remains

   When evil extracts a toll that destroys all hope
   only courage remains

   When `me and thee' are alone against a hostile world
   only courage remains

   When cold, hard steel destroys tender self
   only courage remains

   When the brother who held you with a lion's heart falls
   only courage remains

   When even friendship seems not enough to keep the flame of life alive
   only courage remains

   When the single hope of reunion lies in eternity's hand
   only courage remains

   When midnight dims with life's ebbing tide
   only courage remains

   When revenge is not sweet, but bitter of soul
   only courage remains

   When the champion's heart wills the warrior to live
   only courage remains

   When eyes of sleepy azure meets those of summer skies with the promise of another tomorrow
   courage shall remain

THE END
