A Heart on Fire

I want to be brave.
Brave, like risking everything,
Like standing up when others sit,
Like getting up each time I fall.

I know I can be brave.
Brave, like loving unconditionally,
Like admitting a secret,
Like having faith in the unseen.

I will be brave.
Brave, like swallowing a grenade,
Like facing an angry dragon,
Like standing firm through the flames.

I am brave.
Brave, like one more round,
Like Him who gives me strength.
Brave, like you.
