May we never be afraid to raise our voice
when we see how injustice and inequity become blurred…
Loud enough so that not only our voice….
but those who do not have a voice…are heard.
Today I’m grateful for those who possess the courage of their convictions
whose courage is their cornerstone….
who are not afraid to stand up for what is right…
even if they have to stand alone.
May we be blessed to learn from the birds….
who for years and years have known…
how it is safe to fly together in a group…
and how it takes courage to fly alone…
Today I’m grateful for individual courage…
as the bravest among us have always known
It is easy to stand with a crowd..
but it takes courage to stand alone.
May we all be blessed with the courage of our convictions
and may that courage be our cornerstone…
allowing us to stand up for what is right
even if that means we stand alone.
