Carry On I’ve looked at your face all my life and know not who you are I know of every blemish and I’ve counted every scar I’ve been with you as time has etched a road map ‘cross your face I’ve seen the looks of happiness, of sadness and disgrace I’ve seen you try to cheer up friends and try to best advise All the while, saddened feelings you chose to disguise I’ve seen you look into my eyes and try to figure out Why so much pain has to accompany our lives throughout I’ve seen when you we’re under stress and took a long deep breath I saw when you we’re told that you might face an early death I saw you at a funeral and how you looked so torn I saw the looks of wonder every time each son was born I’ve seen you look so confident like you could save the world I’ve seen you at the bottom when your whole life came unfurled I’m sorry I gave up on you I never thought I would I’d ask for your forgiveness if if I thought it do some good I worry that sometimes your going fall, and not get up I worry you’ll throw in the towel and say you’ve had enough I’ve heard you talk to others about promise’s and hope It’s time you stopped pretending as if you know how to cope I want to see the stars at night and feel the ocean breeze I want to smell the flowers as I walk among the trees I’m begging you to try and help me see another dawn Yes you there in the mirror I need for you, to carry on |

  (smiles) There are days when we look at ourselves in the mirror we just don't like what we see, but other days we just remind ourselves we are human but we can carry on with His love and understanding, you just have to believe you're beautiful and worthy! This is a gorgeous debut, yay, I love it! Welcome to Passions, sweet Richard, may you be inspired by all of us here as we will all be inspired by your lovely words! I can't wait to read more of your lovely words, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Richard, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |
