Still Standing

[magazine clipping: "Where there's a will: there's a way.]

STILL STANDING
Take me prisoner, they may;
my freedom, they take away
and my cruise on the freeway.
I'm still standing.

Sometimes cannot be tread upon.
My free will
the need to smile
wanting to dance with God.
Still standing!

Freedom to sing spontaneously
like the wind, whistle.
Breaking in praise like the choir
as the hyena laugh out loud.
Still standing.

Like a child, I pray on my knees
and a lover's joyful cry.
To reminisce and to weep
and the integrity of promises to keep.
Still standing.

To workout till I sleep.
The inspiration to create
and my will to believe,
and the determination to hope.
Still standing!

My legacy of health and joy.
The gift of God to breathe within,
and watching the moving clouds
the overcast about.
Still standing.

No matter what, these I am keeping,
and I am still standing!
