Give In



Give In


Give in? Who says?
Hold fast to what is right!
Treasure those ideals.
Don't give up without a fight.



There are always those who try,
To take the easy route,
But I will still maintain,
That's not what life's about.



Don't give in to deceit,
To betrayal of your friends,
Remain true to yourself -
No need to make amends!



Sometimes it takes an effort,
To stay on the right path,
Especially if some we know,
Are venting so much wrath.



Give in? Not this girl!
I love a good crusade.
And I truly do believe,
A difference can be made.

  4. "Hold fast to what is right!"

    An excellent poem, and I especially like this line. Thank you for commenting on my blog - I love to know who is reading, and friendly readers are always welcome :). I've met some very interesting and wonderful folks along the blogging path. I am curious how you found me. Usually I can piece things together and figure out a connection, but I haven't had any ah ha moments yet here.

  6. Heidi, not sure how I chanced on your blog...but, then, the "nurse" grabbed me...being a nurse myself. I like your writing style and certainly will return.

    ICY, always appreciate your comments!
