~ Meanings ~
Standing for what you believe in,
Regardless of the odds against you,
And the pressure that tears at your resistance,
~ Means Courage ~

Keeping a smile on your face,
When inside you feel like dying,
For the sake of supporting others,
~ Means Strength ~
Stopping at nothing,
And doing what's in your heart,
You know is right,
~ Means Determination ~
Doing more than is expected,
To make another's life a little more bearable,
Without uttering a single complaint,
~ Means Compassion ~

Helping a friend in need,
No matter the time or effort,
To the best of your ability,
~ Means Loyalty ~
Giving more than you have,
And expecting nothing,
But nothing in return,
~ Means Selflessness ~

Holding your head high,
And being the best you know you can be,
When life seems to fall apart at your feet,
Facing each difficulty with the self-assurance
That time will bring you better tomorrows,
And never giving up,
~ Means Confidence ~
