Stand In Poems

Premium MemberSTAND IN LINE

It’s been 26 years since that tragic day in Colorado…April 20, 1999
when 10 students and one teacher were killed in Columbine.

I remember most of us in the country with tears flowing at the time
assumed that things would change…that they’d be different…after Columbine.

But nothing was done…despite how the the fabric of our country shook…
and 12 years

Premium MemberStand In His Strength


Pressing, pushing past the threshold
Beyond your once imagined line
Till you fear you'll fold
And that you'll fall behind
You have hidden reserves untold

Tests and trials you'll find
They will help us know
 Strength to break any bind
And our spirits will grow
Climbing high like the hind

So let the pressure flow
Knowing we'll stand just fine
His strength on us bestow
And trouble

Stand In Truth No Matter What

Never fear when your truth is blamed
Fear when your wrong is justified
No matter how deep the truth will submerged 
Truth will find a way to show up to the surface
Don't do it to others what not to do to yourself
Don't be proud to be good at turning the story upside down 
Because one day your

Premium MemberCupid's Stand-in Does His Darndest

My dearest Mrs., Ms., Mystic, or Miss, 
this morning Venus had a special "ask". 
She said to make you fall in loving bliss,
for Cupid's ill and not up to the task.
I'm nervous as I'm kind of new at this.
My first question, should I wear a mask?
I guess I am off to a rocky start.
Oh my,

To Those Who Stand in the Flame

To Those Who Stand in the Flame

Your sweat and tears
are felt in the quiet spaces—
we see how you toil where
the air burns, heavy with ghosts,
how strangers rise in the 
name of saving.

Hands and hearts steady,
bearing the weight of devastation—
through these gutting days,
we owe the stars to you.

This poem honors the brave souls—firefighters, neighbors, and kind

Premium MemberStand In His Presence - 1 Kings 19: 11

God's instructions are simple enough
asking that we would just obey
knowing the Lord has our best at heart
trust His words all of the way

God says go and stand, so simple
right on the mountain to be seen
a lesson to be under His word of truth
every week shows you're truly keen

Being casual in your approach
God's blessing will be

Premium MemberI Stand In Prayers

I stand in prayers...


I stand in prayers.

To pay my humble respect to the Almighty

I close my eyes,

I bow my head,

To see an unseen God

May be just a spark of light.

In the darkness that surrounds me

My mind plays havoc.

Concentrate, imagine you are standing in front of the Lord, I say to myself.

But behold,

I see my mother

Premium MemberA Stuntman

There're a lot of
Strange, funny and weird stories 
It's common to be employed as a stuntman in acting 
But not to be employed for something evils
But not to be employed as a scapegoat
Maybe a ghost is looking for a substitute
But it's certainly ridiculous
To look for a stand-in for sickness
To look for a stuntman for your

Tell Your Enemies To Stand In Line

When you rise above the storm
Your enemies will not like it
Thai’s fine; don’t decline your purpose
Tell your enemies to stand in line 
They will never stop your shine!
If circumstances knock you off your horse
And your enemies try to change your course
Keep riding, keep pushing on!
Life moves forward in the face of your enemies
When you rise

Stand-In

A simple touch,
A kiss,
Raw, beautiful, passionate,
A message, 
One after another,
Learning, laughing, having,
Love, passionately made
More than I should have,
Too much,
I’m falling, 
I feel it in every beat of my heart,
Waiting for the moment you pull away
Finding someone better,
The kisses less frequent, 
The raw beauty of whatever built,
Destroyed between us,
The messages slow,
My replies stand, 
Yours never seen

Premium MemberStand In a Field and Scream

When you are confused, anxious, in pain, your stomach in a granny knot.
Near the end, nowhere to go, no friends, no family that understands.
"Stand in a field and scream," it helps, they say. I can tell you; it does not.

You've given yourself away; soul, body turned into a parking lot.
It feels like you exist only
