Being brave doesn't mean we're not scared; it means we refuse to be overcome by fear and panic. Remember, it's always darkest before the dawn.
I suddenly felt a tad overwhelmed
And heard a voice call me outside
‘Come sit and just be still with me
Underneath these beautiful skies’
And as my tears fell down my face
And I tried my best to breathe
A squirrel just came out of nowhere
To say hello to me
I watched it climb to the top of a tree
So gracefully and with ease
It held itself so steadily
Though the branches were shaking in the breeze
The sky above kept changing colour
From grey to blue to grey
But nothing seemed to phase this squirrel
It just carried on with its day
And then I realised that the cold wind
Doesn’t blow for all that long
It’s always darkest before the dawn
Be brave and carry on.
