Live, Love and Stand Tall

Live, Love and Stand Tall Prisoner of fate be strong, be very brave in life be faithful, diligent and bold Hope in other's precious lives you may save joy, live in the light avoiding darkened cold Ever seek the pureness of love, music it plays while sailing into a sweet life so very tall Find your road and the friends that always stay faithfully with you if you stumble and fall Stand on the Rock and shout out your thanks witness to your world, your life and your all Fill in life with joy leaving no great blanks endure life's many tests be they large or small Be one with life, live , love and stand tall have great faith that truth will withstand it ALL.

Thanks very much. We all are prisoners of fate, yet we have the ability to shape our future by the thoughts and actions we take each day. We have free will and thus can actually alter our fate. We can not alter the time of our end, as fate holds that as it's own..
