On A Journey To The Unknown

Hanging On Tight


When I lay down at night
I dream of that special guy
Someone to hold me close
If I should start to cry

Someone, to hold me up
If I should start to fall
Not that I expect to
For I always stand tall

Still, there are times
When I feel weak
But, I hang on real tight
To all of my strength

I refuse to give in
Or to give up
Even though life
Feels way to tough

I'll keep hanging on tight
Until , this battle, I can win
And, always remember
Where I had once been

For I am a survivor of
All kinds of bad things
As long as I hang on
I know, I will succeed

'I refuse to give in
Or to give up'


Of all I know of you and your strengths
I know this is as true a statement as could be made~

Love you~

Yes, you do stand tall, Sweet Sue. You have accomplished a great deal and should be darn proud of yourself! I know the going has been tough, but you were strong and tough enough to get going and to change your life for the better. Independence comes with a price ~ and many rewards! You are the captain of your own ship, Smartest Chick!

With the strenght that you possess you may find the man who meets your needs is looking  to share that strenght. He may need a little nurturing and then he will be more able to stand by you. Just a thought. best to you, martyjo
