Heidi Sands Poet Rhyme

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

Gershon Wolf November 4, 2021 at 7:52 PM 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) Heidi Sands November 5, 2021 at 10:37 AM Lol. Thank you Gershon. Keep on standing ! :)

Joseph P. DiMino November 2, 2021 at 6:43 AM 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. Heidi Sands November 2, 2021 at 6:56 AM Great to see your kind comment today Joe. Thank you very much. I hope you have a nice day. :)

Jennifer Proxenos November 1, 2021 at 10:25 PM I couldn't agree with you more Heidi, but Im fraid that I speak up when something is amiss, whether friend, relation and quite honestly, even with clients, but at the end of it al, the respect me and others who do this. Faved this poem Blessings, Jennifer. Heidi Sands November 2, 2021 at 6:11 AM 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 :)
