Hold On

Dedicated to anyone who can identify some with this poem.

Hold On


If life is sometimes hard, you think you can endure no longer,
If you're sometimes feeling weak, wishing you were stronger,
If you face certain challenges that seem to never end,
If you're so very weary, you can no longer pretend
To be just fine, that you can handle it all,
And you see yourself spiraling into a downfall.
No longer can you you manage
To cope with grace and style.
It's even hard sometimes
To come up with a smile.
If this is how you have felt, sometimes in despair,
Take courage, take hope, and give yourself some care.
Take time to figure out just what you really need
Then do all you can to help yourself succeed.
Don't be afraid to ask for support from those who love you.
You may be surprised that many want to help you get through.
Grab 'hold of hope, let it be your guide,
And try to push all negative thoughts aside.
I'm only trying to tell you the things that help me now
Whenever I feel this way and want to overcome somehow.
I hope that this will help and let you know I care.
And as you've asked, your family is in my prayers.
Life can be unfair, "No one ever said it would be easy
Only that it would be worth it."**

**I looked all over the internet and could not find the originator of that last saying.

On Hold

I love the poem you wrote, and I think I can identify with it myself. I am glad you decide to post something you wrote. Others will be able to identify also I'm sure. Posting your poetry is like posting your inner soul and most of the time, others will always benefit.

I can't really identify with the poem. I have had a pretty good life, but I think it is a good poem. I can't write poetry.
