Stand firm

When the battle rages within
between ethics and greed
Don't ever give in
And give up what you value most

Stand firm

When you feel so down
About the way you are treated
Unfair and unjust
Don't give up, just bide your time

Stand firm

When life sucks the best out of you
And you get nothing in return
Don't reciprocate the same way
Just keep doing what you love

Stand firm

When faced with death
Laugh at it's face
You know you've given your best
And that's what you've left behind

Stand firm

Life will go on
And your spirit will live on
Inspiring the ones to come
By the way you lived and died
OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
