Bravery

Sometimes
I am in awe of her bravery
Because I look back and see
Everything she was up against
And remember how impossible
It all felt

Sometimes
I am in awe of her bravery
Because I look forward and see
All the obstacles that lie ahead
And how overwhelming
It all seems

Sometimes
I am in awe of her bravery
In the exact moment I recognize
That I have chosen joy over fear
Right here and now
No matter what comes next
