standing still,
deadly still at times,
never realizing,
how far forward I am moving,
running
as always,
headlong without thinking
into a life,
which may very well reject me,
like any transplant,
to a foreign place,
a foreign life,
still standing,
despite the blows,
I hold strong
I will survive
I am a COOPER!!!
more over than that I am me
I will never give up
still standing
as I'm standing still,
trying to make sense
of all the prophetic power
this all holds.

Author's Note: This is the time of the year I need to know more than ever that I have strength and this is what this is meant to give.
