to be brave

He asked me,
"What if this goes wrong?"
& I told him gently
that there are no
Guarantees in life.
Sometimes, you've
got to make the choice
to be brave.
Like the heroes 
who go running into
burning buildings
with only a hope
That they'll make it
out alive.
"Certain risks are just
worth taking"
I said.
So we joined hands
& walked together
into the flames.
