- resolutely or dutifully firm and unwavering.”steadfast loyalty” – Oxford Languages
Steadfast
We are unflinching
in the face of adversity
rising to the strenuous
on the fire of our own stubbornness
Open hearts
giving us clear vision
of a path forward
though the road ahead climbs
We are steadfast
committed to our world-building
loyal to the common goal
we chose
Open hearts
taking the arrows
of crisis and test
forged in fire and protest
We are constant
with the steadiness of rock
working with the sculptor
to create our final form – Caroline A. Slee
