Give Thanks and Stand Firm Should your high hopes be so cruelly lost smashed so savagely by that very fickle fate Do not give up your precious life to be tossed upon heaps and dark mounds of festering hate When your heart feels the thrust of such shame steel your resolve to a defiant, heroic stand Defend life and the honor of your family name with every step taken upon this earthy land If your spirit falls low think of a mountain tall send your soul to rest upon it's highest peak Ignore the slurs and taunts of those so very small consider the evil for which they so proudly speak In great triumph soon you will so richly turn as that wicked vermin flee back to their master Consider now the reward in which they will burn thanking God's grace you avoided such a disaster Should your high hopes so faithfully be restored give eternally blessed thanks to our sweet Lord! Robert J. Lindley 06-28-2014 It is now ever so important to give thanks...
