~*~
Stand up straight
And be counted,
Let your voice
Ring loud and
Clear.
Speak your mind,
Never hold back,
Speak out loud
So all can
Hear.
Speak your truth
By being honest,
May all words
Be from the
Heart.
Never doubt that
You are worthy,
Of our world
You are a
Part.

Linda:


stand up and be counted . . .

Was it on purpose or did you mean for this to look like four hearts?  Even an arrow pointing . . .

This is awesome

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Linda, there's nothing I respect more than someone who has the guts to say exactly how they feel, and that is why I admire Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks so much! She had the heart to say her opinion and her aesthetic response to Bush and the war and what thanks did she get? Vandalism. Death threats. Banning from radio and boycotting. If you ask me, it is those who obstruct this freedom that should feel sorry for themselves, and I think Natalie has reminded all that still listen the beauty of what freedom is! (big hugggsssssss) It breaks my heart to see so many cowards obstruct this option of having someone be a part of the circle, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I always appreciate it when another poet writes out passages of my poetry. It shows me how much they appreciate what I have written! Thank you!  

Warm hugs,

I don't know why I tend to disappear from PIP, but poems like these remind me that I can always come home.

Wonderfully written!
