Circle of Courage
by
Dr. Mark Winegar
Granny, oh Granny
Where's that Circle of Courage?
I need it now
To show me my way.
?Well, don't you know Son?
It's all around you.
In the eyes of your children
As they laugh and play.?
The Circle of Courage
Is a guide for living.
It taught me how
To live a good life.
Grandma handed it down
To us little children.
And it's been our guide
Between what's wrong and right.
Now sometimes I've strayed
And sometimes I've wandered.
These things that we do
Stay with us for life.
It's through our mistakes
that we learn life's hardest lessons.
And life is too short
To waste time on regrets.
Life is a course
Packed full of choices.
Our best intentions
Can often go wrong.
But if we follow
The Circle of Courage,
We can find our way back
To where we belong.
