Notes About The Poem

Don'T

Don't Let Go

Life gets hard, 
and seems...
overwhelming at times. 
Don't let go. 

Life gets rough, 
not just at the edges, 
but all over. 
Don't let go. 

Ask someone to listen, 
tell someone to hear, 
don't fear. 
Don't let go. 

Mom loves you, 
Dad does too. 
Don't let go. 

Brother will be lost without you, 
sister will never be alright, 
her heart wounded. 
Don't let go. 

Prayers for every sad child, 
ageless and timeless, 
Don't let go.

Nancy Kaufman Date: 5/8/2023 4:36:00 AM This poem should be posted at every community center and in the schools with the growing suicide rate among our children. Some thing incredibly sad has happened that our babies are checking out before their lives have truly begun. Login to Reply
