Hanging On

I’m hanging on like branches of the trees Blowing back and forth in the breeze I’m hanging on like a string of a kite Wavering in the air, trying to keep sight I’m hanging on like that last leaf, alone After all the others have fallen and blown I’m hanging on, hanging on, tight as I can Until sometime, there is another plan Heidi Sands 1/15/20

Glimpses of what each of us feels from time to time--I’m hanging on like that last leaf, alone After all the others have fallen and blown. Great metaphoric write, Heidi.

We're all just hanging on for dear life, until this evil world is gone, and only the righteous will dwell in peace and security. This poem highlights how most people feel at times. Well done Heidi!

Just hang in there my friend. Each day is a new opportunity and soon enough the good will find you and lift you down gently and show you what a beautiful world this is. Loved this Heidi.
