The courage spell

My daughter,

Before you, the dragons of the mind always defeated me

But you arrived loving me and forever will

Now I can close my eyes, hold firm and still

I can breathe in and out, stand tall until—

I have tamed the dragons, with all my skill

Don’t forget these words, my daughter

The dragons come to all

They may come to you

Don’t forget to love, my daughter

I love you!

With courage to fight

use your own eyes

see with delight

beyond appearances

Dragons are butterflies
