The Courage

I never had
The courage
To tell you
A joyful truth

I don't say it
All that often
Much less with pride
In myself

So now
As I sit here
Glancing at you
Just wondering

I think of ways
To repay you
There are so many
That I could come up with

But there is only one
That I know
That I can have
The courage for

I wrote this poem
Not at all fancy
Seeing as I've got writers block
Consider yourself lucky

Thank you
For sitting with me
All alone that day
I admire your bravery

It had been rough
All that week
You showed me care
Not so meek
