It may seem like a lot to ask
When all your strength has sipped away
When disillusionment stands it ground
Refusing to yield to the change you want.
When nothing is all you seem to get
As a reward for all you’ve done
Please find that place deep within
And hold on, please just hold on still
You rack your mind all day and night
For a vestige, just a bit of hope
A small glimmer of sunshine will do
A wee little smile to mask the pain
When the tears you can’t restrain
Fall amidst your folorn domain
It’s so much easier to just give up
To simply walk away this time.
Hold on dear one, please hold on
When the sun won’t shine at all
Hold on, please just find a way
When your heart is locking down
Hold on, please look inside again
When all desire seems to be gone
There’s always a sweetness in the rock
A peculiar softness in the hardest place
Music chimes within the chaos
There’s a calm within this very storm
An all illusive gem beneath the grime
It is the irony of life, my friend
The darkest hour ever seen
Is just before sweet dawn breaks through
Right in the core of this disaster
A miracle awaits the one
Who inspite of all the odds
Will choose to hold on still
And if the ground beneath you gives
And there is nothing to hold on to
Still hold on, oh please, please do
Find the Anchor, true and main
That will never shift or move
And hold on my dear, Just hold on
A new day is fast approaching
It is not time to quit just yet
So please my hero, just hold on

I really miss you Liz. I have found posting regularly difficult too but I am glad to be hearing from you. Looking forward to seeing more of you soon. Lots of hugs and good vibes all coming your way now… from me. See you around… and by the way, you ‘still touch my heart and soul’…too and not only mine but a whole group of others who are on here as well. See you.
