Stand your ground!
Don’t let the rattling chains
and moans and wails
intimidate your upright stance;
you have every right to be here,
every right to be
seen,
known,
loved.
If they all jump off a bridge,
how will you safeguard your foothold?
May the truth of Whose you are
ground you,
root you in hope,
provide backbone to your
bravado,
turn tears to triumph!

What are your thoughts?
