RENAGADE AND REBEL

I'm a renagade and rebel, been that way from the start. And I take life seriously, in matters of the heart. I stand up for the under-dog, the disadvantaged and poor. With very strong opinions. most of which one can't ignore. As a kid I rescured animals, from the shelters and the streets. Volunteered at the hospital, changing bed pans and sheets. I was a hippie in the sixties. A flower child of LOVE. I Sang 'give peace a chance, And fit like hand in glove. "Go to war and fight for freedom" But my heart told me they'de lied. So I just kept on truck'n, didn't let them break my stride! Through the years I have mellowed, much less radical than I was. But I still stand up for justice, and I stand up ...just because.
