Please Remember

Just, stand tall, do not bend,
quietly lean and sway.
Morals are in your heart,
to guide you … every day.

Just stand there like a tree,
when feeling leafless bare.
The structure of your roots,
well grounded … in God’s care.

Just stand up, just stand there,
silhouetted against the sky.
Not your strength, stay standing,
on God’s strength … please rely.

Just stand son, simply stand,
beside you someone’s there.
When alone remember,
I left you in … God’s care.
