Traditions are not something to take lightly Not something that can come and go Call me old fashioned but like Sapphires passed through generations Memories and family Traditions stand strong in a community built Respect for those who came before And a promise for the future To continue on Through the hard times we rejoice in knowing what is coming And in the good we are thankful for what we have Knowing that it wasn’t always this easy And that others before us fought for this We stand on the grounds of community and tradition Born and raised

The Grounds of Community
Traditions are not something to take lightly Not something that can come and go Call me old fashioned but like Sapphires passed through generations Memories and family Traditions stand strong in a community built Respect for those who came before And a promise for the future To continue on Through the hard times we rejoice in knowing what is coming And in the good we are thankful for what we have Knowing that it wasn’t always this easy And that others before us fought for this We stand on the grounds of community and tradition Born and raised
They are trying to change a whole group of 150 year old traditions and celebrations in my city. And this was my response to those people
