Need To Live

How we all try our best to hang on, Know some of us can't fight that long. We watch as it's pain over takes you, We watch in sadness because this is all we can do. I sensed your frailty within the tone of your voice, If we could change places, I'd make that choice. I don't want to lose you now or ever, I plead and plead for the day your better. Such words of truth from the heart, But know this is but a small part. Yes! At times it feels we can't win, But truth is, you have the strength within. Focus on all your grins and true friends. Then happiness grows with no depends. But those days seem so far away from today, No! I will never leave you alone or agree to walk away. For this world would dim without you here. Know your worth through me, my Dear. You are my friend, my only one who knows me, Please never give up, please live. Oh, please believe. There are others who would grieve to see you go, With your smiles, laughter, all the things we love and know, That makes you worth every night we spend by your side, If you gave up, you wouldn't be the only thing that died. We cling to to each other for strength to overcome, Through God above, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, This time is not your time, so please hang on, And know you don't fight alone, no matter how long. Believe and see how much you are loved by us, If you lose hope let us help you to refocus. Release the negative and revive in the positive, Because I care enough to see you live...
