&quot;Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear. The brave may not live long, but the cautious do not live at all.&quot;<br /> <br /> -Meg Cabot

I am gold.
I am noble, valued and pure.
I am beautiful, never rusting, ever shining.
I crown the heads of kings.
I sheath goblets in shine.

I am gold.
Raw I lay in the earth,
Undiscovered,
Unfound,
Yet not unsought.

I am gold.
What will I become that men foolishly seek?
What thing am I to be?
The golden crown of power?
The gleaming coin of greed?

I am gold.
I am valued.
I am praised.
I am worshiped many ways.
I am gold.
