I am Standing on the Shoulders
I am standing on the shoulders of the ones who came before me I am honored by their passion for our liberty I will stand a little taller, I will work a little longer And my shoulders will be there to hold the ones who follow me A few years ago, I would have never have imagined being alive today to see the many challenges of almost these two years. However, I can still categorically say that I am filled with deep gratitude for the many things in my life, especially for life itself, good health, family, sisters, and friends. Things and people that I may have previously taken for granted. The chorus of the above song by Joyce Johnson Rouse , aka “Earth Mama,” beautifully describes the gratitude that I feel for the ones who have gone before me. I know that I am alive and well at this challenging time in life for a reason and for a purpose. I am here to have life and to live it to the fullest. I am to learn from the ones who have gone before me and to make a difference wher
