Once upon a time, in a cozy little house, There lived a shy little mouse, Named Quincy, but called Scaredy Mouse, He was timid and small, and didn't like to roam, In his khaki pants and green shoes, He felt safest at home.

Mama Souris, his dear mother, so wise, Said, "Quincy, my dear, don't believe those lies, You're brave in your heart, just you wait and see, The world's not so scary, come and follow me." With a hug and a kiss, she whispered, "You'll find, The courage you seek is already inside."

Penelope, his sister, so cheerful and bright, Said, "Quincy, dear brother, let's take flight, To the meadow so green, and the forest so wide, With me by your side, you've nothing to hide." Her laughter and joy, like a warm embrace, Filled Quincy's heart, and lit up his face.

In the meadow they went, with a basket of cheese, Under the sun, and through the gentle breeze, They nibbled and chattered, and danced with glee, Quincy felt happy, as happy as can be. With Penelope near, and Mama close by, He forgot about fear, and let out a sigh.

As they strolled in the woods, so green and grand, A rustle, a hoot, and a paw in the sand, Quincy's heart raced, and his knees turned to jelly, But Penelope's giggle made him feel like a belly. "It's just Mr. Owl, with a message to share, Don't be afraid, he's really quite rare."

Mr. Owl hooted, "Dear Quincy, my friend, Courage is within you, it's not at the end, Of a long winding road, or a faraway place, It's right here with you, in your heart's warm embrace. Embrace your fears, and they'll soon disappear, Believe in yourself, and you'll find courage near."

With newfound courage, Quincy ventured out more, He explored the woods, from the ceiling to the floor, He met furry squirrels and a busy bumblebee, And realized the world was a wonderful place to be. With each little step, his confidence grew, Quincy felt proud, and his heart danced too.

One day, as he wandered, in the forest so wide, Quincy found a friend, right by his side, It was a kind little rabbit, with a smile so bright, "I'm here to help you, let's take flight." With a skip and a hop, they explored together, Quincy felt grateful for this friend so clever.

As days turned to weeks, and weeks to a year, Quincy's heart was full, and free from fear, With Mama, Penelope, and friends by his side, He embraced each day, with courage and pride. The joy of friendship, the warmth of the sun, Quincy had learned that bravery is fun.

One sunny day, as the birds sang a tune, Quincy spoke up, under the bright, shining moon, "Thank you, Mama and Penelope, for guiding my way, And to all my friends, who made my heart sway. I'm no longer Scaredy Mouse, but Quincy, so true, With courage and love, I'll always thank you."

Now Quincy, the brave little mouse, so bold, Explored the world, with stories untold, He danced in the moonlight, and sang with the stars, His courage shone bright, near and far. With a heart full of love, and a spirit so free, Quincy knew he could be anything he wanted to be.

As the seasons changed, and the leaves turned gold, Quincy embarked on adventures, brave and bold, With a skip and a hop, and a song in his heart, He was ready to explore, and play his part. For the world was a canvas, so vast and so wide, Quincy was ready, with courage by his side.

To all the children, both big and small, Remember Quincy's story, and hear his call, Courage is within you, it's always been there, Believe in yourself, and show that you care. With love in your heart, and a friend by your side, You can conquer your fears, and enjoy the wild ride.

Quincy's tale of bravery and love, Echoed through the woods, and the skies above, Children and critters, far and near, Listened to his story, loud and clear. And in their hearts, they found a spark, Of courage and hope, even in the dark.

Quincy's adventures, they never did cease, For bravery and love, brought him peace, In every little mouse, and every child so dear, Quincy's legacy lived on, year after year. And so, in the meadow, and in the forest so wide, Quincy's courage and love, forever did reside.

So here ends the tale, of Quincy so true, Whose courage and love, inspired me and you, Let's remember his journey, and the friends he made, The adventures he had, and the fears he swayed. For in every little heart, and in every little house, Lived the spirit of Quincy, the brave little mouse.
