(in case of visual issues the poem reads)

courage is not just
the rushing in recklessly,
occasionally courage is
knowing that I have
lost my nerve
and then stepping
forward anyway.

I will make sure
I am always taking
the forward step,
Even though I don’t know
I will always have the nerve
to back up my move.
