Listen!

White flower among yellow flowers

Unique,

Trying to grow tall,

Feeling you don’t fit in

With all those who surround you.

Listen!

Listen!

Don’t you dare give up trying!

Look up, reach for the sky!

You do have a

Purpose.

Standing Tall

Tree standing tall
I stand tall above the rest

I have a legacy to fulfill

So I will work hard and do my best

I stand tall above the rest

Often times put to the test

But committed to do His will

I stand tall above the rest

I have a legacy to fulfill

July to me here in the USA is the patriotic month.
As we once again celebrate Independence Day I am reminded of the words of our Pledge of Allegiance to our Flag
