Hold On To What You Love

Hold on tight to what you have 
don't let go because of fear
You can’t be sure what will happen
signs of danger have yet to appear

Climb the highest mountains together  
though you're not sure what lies ahead
You can't always make it to the top
both endeavour to do your very best

Walking on fire can burn your feet
watch where you step in your lives
stand up for what you believe in
don't do what others do
 
Foundations under you as a couple
keep you from drifting apart
Not every race you run you'll win
be satisfied knowing you both tried hard

If the time is right to build a life together         
never be afraid to risk opening up your hearts
You'll never know what joy you could have
until you've been joined as husband and wife

Thank you very much Ndaba. I am very sick and not able to write a lot these days. I have a disease which there isn't a cure for, but I'm still hoping. I wish your family a very merry Christmas Pam x

Thank you very much. It's worth all the trouble to try to make a relationship work. If it's meant to be, it usually works out in the end. Pamx

I'm a Libra baby, 28th. I hope it helps someone who is struggling with a decision in their life.Sometimes we have to take risks in our lives to appredciate that not everthing comes easy. No one has to be perfect. We should be happy in life just knowing we tried our best. God Bless Andrea Pam

Good advice Pam. I'm probably the worse person in the world. Right now im holding on to 2 situations... I can not make up my mind. I think I am afraid. And don't want to find out, if I should open my heart to the man I truly love. Thanks once again for the good lifting thoughts. Always. .Linda

Linda there is no rush to make a decision between two relationships. Only time will tell which one is the one. Something is obviously special for some reason with both of these relationships. It isn't easy to decide who you want to open up your heart to for life. Be guided by what you feel in your heart and give yourself times to see what is the one thing that you feel connects you with one more than the other. If you do this it will help you see who it is you want to wake up next to every morning. The main thing is your're happy. God Bless Pam. Good luck with whatever you decide. I will be very interested to hear it all works out for you .
