Courage, Not By Size
By Blessing Chinenye David
I thought lion was stronger
than porcupine
I thought dog was stronger
than fowl
I assumed centipede
could feast on ants.
My mind had so concluded
That snake was stronger than bird
And dog, than the cat
All judging and juxtaposing by size.
Like muds on mud house
Were these long glued
To my apparently naïve mind
Little did I know it was not by size.
Lately have I earlier discovered
The bizarre in the credulity
And the wrong in my shibboleth.
Porcupine has killed the lion
Fowl gave dog the chase of his life
Ant has fed on the centipede.
Bird ate the snake alive
Cat has disgraced the dog
And made jest of him
All antithetically to my belief.
Then I knew
Then I discovered
Then I recalibrated all
Then I believed.
It was not by size
It is not by size
It cannot be by size
For size is often ineffective
Size is dreadful
Though to the dreadful.
It took courage
It takes courage
It can only be by courage.
For courage is a virtue
Courage beats the odd
The courageous mind
Is the victorious mind.
It is not by size
It is simply by courage
For size frightens
While courage heightens.
Dread not the size
Do all with courage
For it's simply not by size
But by courage.
