Hang on!
Even if you’re your pinkie’s
all that’s left of your grip.
Even if you’re heart is bleeding
down to it’s last drip...
Hang on!

RP, that's in case the message wasn't powerful enough on its own...hehehehehe, but actually, sometimes when a verse is short, I have some silly idea I still need to fill up the page, not waste the cyber paper, ya know.  

No, no, Rex Allen, I'd not hang on your pinky unless you offered it with your whole heart.

Good advice....but did you have to shout....us bleeding heart romantic guys are sensitive you know....sniff sniff.

I like the way it worked

Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream.

VAS - I've been hanging for a while, when can I let go?

Well, Bill, this verse was inspired by my mouse pad that has a lime green frog with brilliant orange eyes and sticky pad toes. At the bottom it says, "Hang On THE LORD'S COMIN' BACK." So, that's when we can let go, I guess.
