Courage to Attain True Love

Red is the color used to symbolize
Both romantic love and utmost courage;
Courage one has need to adrenalize
To have a love beyond the average.

Courage known as a Cardinal Virtue
Implies it is of crucial importance;
Courage one's soul must totally imbue
To hold apprehension in abeyance.

One must sustain stout physical courage
To withstand despair in search of true love;
One must possess lasting moral courage
To face the problem and the solution therof.

One must have the fortitude and valor
Of the tiger to tame the fierce lion;
For fear not to be thy spirit's jailor
Courage is needed to attain love's Zion.
