Anna - I Will Defend


I will defend the things I believe,
That is the only way people will achieve
The goals we place, and attempt to make,
Trying to overcome the challenges we take.
Force yourself to believe and defend,
Who knows? You might start a new trend.
Helping others to defend what is right,
Don’t go down without a fight.
You will defend.
You will defend your ideas and beliefs,
Standing strong against your own motifs.
We will all defend the actions we make,
Even if they are big mistakes.
Defend your actions, defend your talk,
To which people disagree you should never balk.
I will defend.

Anna Marie, age 16
