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.

I agree, Ann. Life is not about what we want or what happens to us ... it is about how we hold on and do the best we can with everything that comes our way. Great message in this poem for all of us. Have a blessed day my friend. Bill

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.

So sad, that this mantra has to be used so often today. Instead of embracing life, too many young people are shrinking from it.
