Simple Talk: Courage

Courage by Cheryl Slinker
(Taken from July 2010 Ensign)

Will I have the courage
To turn and walk away
When someone else around me
Says bad things he shouldn't say?

Will I have the courage
To reach out and be a friend
To someone who is hurt or sad
And has a heart to mend?

Will I have the courage
To stand tall and to be strong
when tempted by another
To do things I know are wrong?

Yes!! I'll have the courage
To do these things and more.
I won't wait until I'm tempted;
I'll decide before!

I'll decide this very minute
To be courageous, brave, and true
And follow Christ's example
In all I say and do.
