a quiet courage
Sometimes there aren't any trumpets -
just lots of dragons.
Sometimes there aren't any medals to win - no golden chalice,
no honor in having fought a fierce dragon.
Sometimes all you can say is,
"the day is done and I tried my best."
Sometimes the very best you can do is to keep trying.
Courage does not always roar.
Sometimes it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying
"I will try again tomorrow."
