School assembly marching time,
Shoulders back, tall or proud,
Marching music, totally loud....

arm like branches reach upward

grasping towards the bright sun

Showing her colors, sparkling and loud.
The rest of the purses are a bit intimidated.
Many of them already recycled or eliminated....

As Joe the canary his wings flex
He stretches tall and proud
Squawks and shrieks really loud
At the Seagull who has huge, huge pecs  ...

Speak your mind
Don't be afraid
Stand up for what you believe
Don't let others push you down

Hold your head high
Stand tall and proud
Let them see you,
what you believe,
and what you stand for...

Reach for the sky
Branch out into the world 
Stay grounded

My father is a hero.
He stands so tall and proud.
His hands are firm, But gentle.
He stands out in a crowd.
People stop to Thank him.
For Freedom he does fight.
My father is a Soldier.
But he's my Dad at night!...

It looks like a wound
strength often comes from bleeding;
Tall and proud, I stand.

Maybe if we share 
flaws become understanding;
Embrace your story.

I think I’m too short;
You think you’re too quiet; 
We just see perfect....

Flowers bright
Colours everywhere 
Cant help but stop
And soak in the fresh air.

Green trees 
All tall and proud
Bright big sun
In a sky with no clouds.

Birds chirping
Flying around the trees
Would be great
To be that free.

Survival

The tree’s a ghostly silhouette
that sways when breezes blow,
exposed to natures cruelest days
of cold and ice and snow.

Yet still she stands tall and proud
for life has made her see
that struggles are what made her strong
and courage set her free....

The blue, blue skies of Manhattan.

Scores of bird's going off for the night,
hoards of flightful fancies,
singing through the clouds,
flying tall and proud.

Sea breeze,
chills and the big freeze,
the solidness and frost bite in my toes,
my goodness I need to stop moaning....

Spread your wings
Take to the sky
It’s now time for you to fly

It might be scary 
It might be wild
The sunlight is here
Your time is near

Live your life up in the sky
Please don’t worry and please don’t cry
Your wings will lift you to the clouds
You just have to stand tall and proud...

I wear a sweatshirt because I feel hidden. Behind this sweatshirt that I wear is a symbol of me. I’m like a tree. I'm quiet I stand tall and proud. These pretty leave that I carry surround me in a leafy blanket. When my hood is up I feel safe from the outsiders. That’s why I live behind my hoodie....

The moon bites the dust 
It rolls back
Back into the heath
Before the shame catches waves
The little girl slips into her trench coat 
To catch her date
It's clear in the skies
As the magical sun slips through 
Beauty engulfs the world
She has just stepped...
into the garden of the falcons 
Tall and proud....

Silent Trumpets.
.
The yellowy trumpets 
In great abundance
Are blown but make no sound
The crowds of blue bells remain silent
Without ringing 
 Upon the shady ground
All so quiet
But their showy colors shout out aloud
To the heart of the observer  
As they in all their glory
Wave back tall and proud.

The stone stands alone it seems
against all weather and wane.
No one to share the vicious rain.
No shelter from wind or snow.
Storms come and go, the stone remains,
a little battered but tall and proud.
The kiss of sunlight warms through,
easing the cold dampness away.
The love of the moon lights the night,
not so alone is the standing stone....

I had a dream I was 
in a barren field.
It appeared to be winter,
the air cutting deep.
Frost met the ground,
covering the still horizon.
I walked along the narrow
as a warmth began to sprout.
The creek side near,
and hope close behind,
a paralysis of awe took over.
A cherry tree of full bloom
stood tall and proud under
a cold, winter sky....
