Just....
When the alarm sounds too soon
and you just want to sleep till noon
When you hurry and still have to wait
and the universe conspires to make you late
Hold On..
When traffic never seems to end
and every driver is driving you round the bend
When your work seems to pile up
and you just want to give up
Hold on....
When the day can't get any worse
and you feel like you are cursed
When the night seems so lonely
and you whisper..if only
Hold on...
When the pain is too hard to bear
and no one seems to care
When all thats left is you
and you don't know how to get through
Hold on...
When you have to nurse a broken heart
and you begin to fall apart
When you begin to wonder the logic of it all
and you feel like climbing the wall
Hold on....
For you see in this life you will find
That there are others whom fate is not so kind
Others who want to see but are blind
Who cannot walk but are never behind
They live their life with hope
They never just cope
A victim they will never be
for within them they are free
So when you feel as if you have it bad
Think but never ever feel sad
Instead take heed from those who know best
then hold on...and realize you are blessed.
This poem is dedicated to my friend's daughter Carlie, she is deaf and mute, but she can tell you stories that will make you laugh till you pee your pants, she has the brightest smile and the warmest hugs. Meeting her inspired me to learn Sign language, way back when I used to live in England. Whenever I begin to feel sorry for myself I think about the people who've survived far worse than I ever had to, and it inpires me. Take the time to remember what is good in your life, more so when things are going wrong. You will always find someone worse off than you and its a fact!
"No one can change your life except for you!" Words to live by......
Goodnight and Godbless

Nice to hear from you! I enjoyed your poetry, your talent is obvious.
I am taking this whole day to just reflect, relax, and get my head screwed on right. Things are looking up. Life is so amazing, I want to enjoy every minute.
Hope you're having a wonderful day!
This entry is very heart warming and it's so beautiful! This song is one my favorites and I think you know why. I think it speaks to me more so now than ever...definitely words to live by! Love you sis ko!
Wow Zeliah. You amaze me in every entry. You are very deep and I like that. Thats cool, and thanks for you comment on my xanga.!
VERY POWERFUL WORDS Zeliah...
u help me apreciate and see the world differently in every entry. Thank you.
I'm so glad u did that random search! = )... I needed that... perhaps it was fate.
well said...
Ummm it's kinda difficult to put into words the emotion you convey in your poetry. Exceptional is the 1st word that comes to mind, and what you have to say on your side profile is equally intriguing. I'd b highly interested in picking your brain on several subjects. Stay tru Winston,
wassup just randomly passing by =)
Wow you write soo beautiful, I wish I could, but I guess it just wasnt ment to be my thing. I hope you have a great week Zeliah. Take care and God bless!

this is the best way to start a day - with a smile in my heart....
Your poem was just what I needed at the moment. I have been wallowing in self pity. It reminded me of some one who died last year. She knew she was going to die ... couldn't talk because of a trachyostomy, couldn't move because of the disease she had, in fact couldn't even hold her own head up and yet she would always greet you with a smile and a twinkle in her eyes. She was a lovely lady right to the end.
Thanx Zeliah,
Jo
yea, you told me. =D

Amazing!!! So much talent plus real life materials equals YOU. No words can describe it. More power! so fortunate to be your friend. Thanks
