What Keeps Me Going
The world has been dark
And filled with strife.
All I want
Is a happy life.
The life before all
That has been going on
But the spiral continues
And I must live on.
So what brings me joy
In this weary new world?
What keeps me going
When hope is unfurled?
My family keeps me going.
We are united and strong
Though politically different
Our bond is lifelong.
My teacher friends keep me going
Each other we cheer.
Mask on, mask off
Let’s go for a beer!
My students keep me going
They have lived a strange life
In this world of uncertainty,
Trouble and strife.
My faith keeps me going?
I wish to say yes
But my faith is waning
With every new stress
Brought on by this world
Of disease, war, and strife.
I’ll try to stay strong
And love this strange life.
