Just Hold on Tight…

I cried for you in my sleep
I sung for you in my prayers
every time I wake, I see your face
everyday with a few more tears

I find my self wondering how lost you must be
could I guide you home, could I light the way

I can’t let you slip
I can’t let you fall
here’s my hand, just hold on tight
don’t let go until everything’s all right


These are song lyrics but this seem like a good place to post them. I was half crying while I wrote those lyrics. My best friend is not doing so well...I have no other way left but this. I can't sing but I know a very good singer at my chruch who can sing this. Its my last ounce of strength and sanity written on paper...its so hard to see her hurting.

Here is the complete version I just got done with...

Just Hold on Tight

I cried for you in my sleep
I sung for you in my prayers
every time I wake, I see your face
everyday with a few more tears

I find my self wondering how lost you must be
could I guide you home, could I light the way

I can’t let you slip
I can’t let you fall
here’s my hand, just hold on tight
don’t let go until everything’s all right

Why must you be so far away
Why can’t you see me here where I pray

All I want is to see you free
Free from misery, free from pain
Please, don’t run away
I just have this to say

Take my hand …and just hold on tight…

Tears were actually welling up in my eyes as I read your loving, empassioned lyrics.

You, yourself, are a friend worth having and cherishing.

I will pray for your friend's well-being.

Loving hugs to you both,
EA

Ron, this is beautiful!
Your friend is very fortunate to have you to lean on.
I will say healing prayers.
~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~

Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that.
Something from the sea, whichever one I'm near.
When I stray too far from beachland, it calls me back
