Take A Firm Stand Poems | Examples


Premium Member My Little Garden

We met in the garden
one fair, sunny day.
I asked where you’d been
But you would not say.

I asked about news
from beyond the hedges.
I wondered fiercely,
I’d not passed its edges.

I begged and I pleaded
For news from outside
To get answers sought
Tears streaming, you cried.

You told of fighting	
And virtual schools,
Racial slighting
And stay-at-home rules.

I’m tempted to stay
With my head in sand
But I want to help
And take a firm stand.

Oh, little garden
Stay safe and grow free 
Give me your promise
And remember me.

Premium Member Beautiful One Be Still My One- Gracious Daughter of God

Be still my one,
Chance be here
My beautiful one
Allow me to glory, on thine holy beauty

For your love is pure;
As the aqua shores;
Of yon mystic inland
I am excited to be invited
To glaze upon your beauty spirit
To subject myself to your soul you bare it

Allow me my darling,
To share you with God and
Be a righteous man and take a firm stand
Not to compromised, but just praise OUR God
Together you and I
My beautiful one
Be still my one
Chance be here
Glory, spun
Gracious Daughter of God
Beautiful inside soul and spirit you show

Please Stand By Me

Please love me and stand by me
It brings me comfort in times of need
When problems arise and hope slips through my hands
I hope you come closer and take a firm stand

Life will always have its ups and downs
I will not always be happy I will sometimes frown
But as long as you hold me and kiss me with care
The storm clouds will pass the day will be clear 

Trials and tribulations will engulf me sometimes
But I can weather the storm with you in my life
When small waves become a tumultuous sea
I know I will make it if you stand by me

One day's magic


One day's time and a magic wand,
Determined I am to take a firm stand,

An end to abhorrence and indignation,
All will take up self abnegation,

An expiation for the sins of the world,
Sacrifices, shine will leave each one blurred,

Putting up an end to sanguinely battue,
Human life would sail perfect on a plateau !

And I won't ever need another day,
One day's magic will change the entire play !

The Dark

The noose tightens,
As i just sit here losing my mind;
Watching myself rot and decay
Watching as i run out of time.
No pride left inside,
No motivation to take a firm stand;
All this losing has crippled my soul,
I just dont know who i really am.
The cold coffin subtilly beckons,
Whispering lies of some moment of fame;
Calling me to dance with the eternal darkness,
Where even god forever blots out my name.
I watch as they rain dirt down upon me,
Its the last tears ever shed for me;
Left all alone under some  grey stone,
Where the dark will forever haunt me.

  Carl Fraser


What I Believe

I am feeling the fight. I can go another round.
The devil's throwing jabs trying to knock me down.
I survive the attacks. I keep the faith at all costs
Because I already know who's won and who lost.
I am seeking the Lord's will and He shows me favor.
I claim victory through the blood of my Savior.
I hit rock bottom. There is nothing left to fear.
There's nowhere to go but up. That has been made clear.
I have already broken the chains of addiction.
I'm going to be somebody. I can make that prediction
Because His word tells me that He has a plan
As long as I stay strong and take a firm stand.
He will make my life better as long as I weather
The storm and I have made that my life's evdeavor.
I will stand strong. I can and I must.
When I am down He picks me up. In God I trust.
He wants me to prosper. He wants me to succeed.
He will stand beside me through it all. This is what I believe.
