Take a Stand

When you know the facts and evidence, You are able to balance on top of a fence The best is to speak the truth unspoken Take a stand to prevent all from being broken Stand your ground, as your life depends on it No-one will do it all for you, when you only sit Life is a gift, to embrace and open day to day Enjoy, spread credence with all you have to say Stand your ground today, before it’s too late For it can save another, and determine your fate Heidi Sands 11//1/21

As long as I get a nice long intermission (to sit down), I'm glad to take a stand. Why, I'll even manage up to 3 minutes at time. ~ Wheelchair Willie (Just kidding here; your point is truly well taken, my friend. Thanks, gw)

One should always stand up for their beliefs Heidi as they allow others the same. Hopefully, everyone can come together ! Well crafted xxoo

Most children learn in kindergarten that if they don't stick up for themself, no one else will, yet sibling tend to rely on their siblings!

Excellent advise! Well said. We are born with a truth, deep inside all of us. But, readily accessible. To exercise said truth, is to live. When not, is to merely exist. Love this! You get a favorite.

Thank you Jennifer. In these times, it is more challenging to speak up, due to numerous things going on and a lot of division. But , we must never give up our voice. It is part of who we are, allowing us to live fully and authentically. I hope all is well and you have a nice day :)
