Never Flee

May your head always ring,
with God's mighty word.
He gave you those ears,
so that he could be heard.

Open your mind,
and open your heart.
Don't spit out words,
that rip others apart.

I know I'm abrasive,
and a little bit rough.
I will always defend,
those that are not so tough.

Bring it to my doorstep,
and you to shall see.
I will never back down,
and I will never flee.

wise words indeed Mark but after 6 years on the site I know nothing will change and calls for 'peace' by one who instigates so many issues is pure bs. Its sad to see my friends leaving over and people going else where . hugs jan xx

Bulldog on a leash. I like that, it’s profound. That’s the title of my next rambling I’m going to write today.

There will always be a wolf in sheep’s clothing watching and waiting to attack. I get that, but think of me as your bulldog on a leash. I’ll be here cute and cuddly until you need to unleash me.
