Were you watching… listening… noting?
What was said behind your back?
Did the rumors ever draw you out? or…
Cause you to react?
To the nonsense that is being said
Or flippant comments made?
Do you ever let the gossip damage
Any precious price you paid?
I say you’re bigger
Than the rant
Vicious seeds they’d like to plant, instead…
You’re what we strive to be.
Wicked laughter… gallantry
You have been our tree today
Solid in your shady way
Sitting on your quiet bench
Casual… you will not flinch
Headlines falling in decline
Will never shape your solid spine
Set the tone for all to see
Sign your name and
Let it be.
