Hold On (Poem)

Hold on my friend

Hold fast and true

Hold onto those that you once knew

Hold onto your life

With all your might

Hold on and don’t give up the fight

Hold onto everyone you hold dear

Hold onto them all and keep them near

Hold onto my hand

Keep me by your side

Hold onto me

There’s no need to hide

Hold onto your past, even the pain

Hold fast to all your pride and shame

Hold true to the child that you once were

Hold onto regrets and secrets you've bore

Hold onto your family

Hold onto your friends

Hold onto yourself

And don’t give in

Hold on, don’t yet say goodnight

Hold on strong with all your might

Hold on dear friend

My love, my life

Hold on . . .
