it was courage

i spoke to a friend and she shared a test, and i was amazed at how she presented it

she passed the information and she never flinched, her tone remained steady, calm and strong

you see that’s how i gather my hope and strength, by watching others face life without complaints

now i see why her art is alive because that kind of inner beauty and poise is hard to hide

so as a matter of fact, i’ll stop right here……………………….and send up the prayer i promised her

the most impressive thing about it all, is that she is not only my neighbor

but now she is my hero as well
