Show Your Pride Long-After the Music Has Stopped Playing

Stand-Up

The Pride colors have always signaled joy

For all of us seeking acceptance

So that we can feel as beautiful as Helen of Troy

And reach the level of independence

That ensures our journey will continue

For all, including those needing an extra push

While preventing anyone from trying to discontinue

Any of our dreams by trying to ambush

Our lives by trying to prevent us from standing proud

as we wave our pride colors

To levels of the highest cloud

Using our favorite multicolors

Stand up and show your pride

For everyone to see and hear

While pushing all naysayers to the curbside

While wishing our supporters another great year

inspirational
