Fighting Hard for Tomorrow

quiet voice on Apr 21, 2011

Keep on moving toward a better day.

Trying very hard not to cry,

But the tears flow anyway.

You keep pushing it aside,

But it just keeps coming back again.

The pain and the hurt that,

Almost crushes your spirit.

Yet somehow, you pull it together,

Soothing your frazzled edges,

Turning your thoughts to other things,

Much, more positive things that,

Will keep you much more sane.

Fighting your way through the gloom,

To find a clearer, brighter place.

You know damn well you can do it,

So although you might shed some tears,

You are strong enough to really believe,

That your tomorrow is almost here.

Don’t you ever, ever give up.

For that is the way life was, is and shall be,
But what you make of it does come in mind.
Change your thoughts into positivity,
And watch the relaxation unwind.

For not all of us, including you,
Are devoid of hurt and pain.
But it is deadened with a heart so true,
By a shoulder not in vain.

May you find hope, joy and rest,
But coping with your thought.
That is when you are at your best,
Keeping you life from going distraught.

I have often thought of giving up; but if I do that I may as well kill myself and I am not ready to do that. So I soldier on.

Beautiful Poem – may God give us strength. Sometimes, problems are stepping stones to a better thing but we don’t see it. Sometimes…
Happy Easter.
