Colossus of Rhodes

Stand tall.

So tall, in fact

That when they tear you down,
When they break you
And dismantle everything you were
Piece by piece,
Scattering your name
Through days of yesteryear
That will never come again,

Stand so tall
That you still remain
Even long after you’re gone

Stand so tall
That you need not be here
For others to feel your presence

Stand so tall
That others will strive
To follow your footsteps

To take your place
And continue
What you started
