Stand

 

In the face of ideals

Based on individual morals

Not of your own

We must stand.

 

In the fury of judgement

From days long ago

Still gripping to the present

We must stand.

 

When the acts of Christ

That we faithfully follow

Are not played out

By others on this stage

We must stand and deliver

Our script while praying for those

That are on a different page.

What I find most interesting about your poem is how many different tracks people are on, in their reviews, yet everyone felt your message spoke them them! You've done a great job of leaving this message strong, but open-ended, so that you aren't espousing any particular doctrine, but just for people to stand for something! Love it! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Thank you so much... I love when people take different things from my poem that I didn't intend. I feel it gives it more depth that I realized.

Absolutely correct...if we don't stand for something...we'll fall for anything.

Trouble comes when liberalism goes to far, thinking they're going to make the world a better place for all, but trample on Rights to make it happen.

A good write, Dale.
Well spoken

How true is that, how well expressed, dale. Goodness is mortal, prayer is care.

Thank you kindly classy lady.

Everyone has an opinion and we don't always agree or harmonize with each other. Stand your ground is a really good motto for those times. Life is getting crazier by the day.

Ain't that the truth. Thank you for the feedback.

yes, love and pray for all...one day we will all be on the same page in the same book...and how glorious that might be.
all the while reading this, i was singing in my head, "Stand" by Sly and the Family Stone.

You are so right Jacob... I didn't even think of that song.
