Just Hold On—A Poem

“Just hold on for one more second, just one more minute, just one more hour.

Just hold on for one more sunrise, one more time to open your eyes toblue skies and hope and love and the warmth of the sun.

If you just hold on, you’ll have the strength and the power to rise above this sorrow,
to come up for air and wake up tomorrow to find that because you held on your future is
intact. In fact, you were always meant to make it through, you know?

Your courage is found in living, not dying. In helping, not hurting. In life and not death.
Your courage is found in taking a breath and holding on for just one more second, just one more minute, just one more hour.

Just hold on for one more sunrise, one more time to open your eyes to blue skies
and hope and love and the warmth of the sun. Just let your lungs keep breathing...and please,

just hold on.” dh
