What Do I Stand For
By Travis
Who do I stand for? Islam and living life as a Muslim to the best
of my ability. Islam is a way of life. The way I walk, the way I
sleep. The way I wake, the way I eat and talk, to the way I dress.
What do I stand for? Not letting any controlled substance control
my life. These are the things that will hinder my present and future. I could not stand for anything, if I let narcotics and alcohol
dictate my life.
What do I stand for? I stand for taking care of all my present and
past legal affairs, not running or hiding from these problems,
whatever be the outcome. I stand for becoming a productive
member of society.
What do I stand for? Doing better than my best on any job I may
have. Working hard to improve my life and my family’s life.
What do I stand for? Being more compassionate to anyone who
may need my compassion. For being more of a listener and
understanding someone else’s problem instead of thinking the
world is just about me.
What do I stand for? Giving a hand wherever needed to Our
House, who has given me a helping hand when I needed one.
Helping the residents: my sisters and brothers at Our House,
when they may need it.
This is what I stand for.
