Is all I have of you
that I would hold on to
for if you are with me
together we'll spend eternity.

The all you have to hold onto, do you refer to the black beads.  It needs something to describe what it is you would hold onto...
With that it'll be perfect  


 The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there IS to celebrate.

Dear Isis,

  The blackbeads was the only thing that reminded me of someone that I used to love. When I look at the beads, it was as if I'm looking at his face and the memories we had, that's why I would hold on to the beads 'till all of eternity. Thanks for the words, Isis, you're really something else.

..........

There is no more turning back this way
The path is overgrown and strewn with thorns
They've torn the lifeblood from your naked eyes
Cast aside to be forlorn..

     -Sarah McLachlan

It is now time to let go my friend. . . and to hold on to something else. . .

It is hard to let go, I know. . . but you must. . . for your heart. . . and for yourself. . .

 That which gives light must endure burning

What I was trying to say was, you should've bought the words black beads into the poem you know?  I get that they were all you had.  But it could confuse the reader you know?  Sorry you misunderstood.  I too, have memories from the past, with which I will never part.  A memory that I can physically touch etc.  I know EXACTLY where you are coming from  

 The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there IS to celebrate.
