A tribute to George Floyd and all those lost to any form of discrimination. Written by Diane Dawson June 7, 2020.
“What Will You Take?”
You can take my life,
but not my strength.
You can take my breath,
but not my spirit.
You can take my anger,
but not my truth.
You can take my voice,
but not my legacy.
You can take my hands,
but not the lives I touched.
You can take my heart,
but not my love.
You can take my fear,
but not my God.
You can choose to continue to hate,
continue to hurt, continue to kill.
Or you can ask for forgiveness.
You can change.
God and I will be here to guide you.
Do not be afraid.
