'Hang On'
All my hopes are shattered
when I am about to give up
Just then, an inner voice tells me to hang on
And never give in even if battered!
When I lost my dearest mother
A true companion and balm in pain
The void that loss it created
Still guides me to Go On!
When nothing works and you feel miserable
The sun rays through darkest clouds
messaging to keep your hopes alive
Plunge in to take a longer stride!
You never give up and go for fall
Bounce back with vigor that's a call
Never capitulate and learn with fall
Courage to bounce back like a ball!
