Standing Up To Not Fall Down
"Standing Up To Not Fall Down"
Principles, Integrity, Honor and Faith,
are characteristics to strive for and attain.
Without these one is merely a shell
and no depth does that someone contain!
Holding to a Principle is noble in itself,
keeping one's head above water to not drown!
This worthy gesture is needed at all times to keep
"Standing Up To Not Fall Down!"
At what cost does one get Integrity?
Is it not one of life's great attributes?
If that is compromised or lost in any way,
so goes one's reputation in disrepute!
We give our word of Honor to one and all,
which can bring infamy or renown!
It is the rock of foundation to assist in
"Standing Up To Not Fall Down!"
Having Faith in lieu of evidence
of everything that is unseen,
is like the Rock of Gibraltar
that always is
absolutely solid and so serene!
Having all of these qualities so deep within
is quite similar to wearing a crown!
It will keep one's head up and help to maintain
"Standing Up To Not Fall Down!"
