Standing up isn’t necessarily easy <br />There is always a chance we take <br />When strong thoughts are fashioned <br />Along with statements that we make <br /> <br />We are who we’re supposed to be <br />If we feel it deep within our hearts <br />As we trudge the path of truthfulness <br />Doing our own individual part <br /> <br />Standing up is, of course, is a choice <br />In this land in which we live <br />Freedom makes our country strong <br />A sacred opportunity for us to give <br /> <br />We parade through life constantly <br />Taking sips from our journey’s cup <br />Ah yes, we are so lucky <br />We can choose to just stand up!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/stand-up-7/
