Keep Going On

The words just don’t come out this time

Not as they once did before

They stay stuck inside my head often

My mouth afraid to utter a word

 

A word that could bring back a memory

That can remind me of what it is and what is used to be

Words that join together to remind me of my grief

 

The words refuse to come out my mouth

They just build up in my eyes

The corners hurt because I try not to be strong

I try so hard not to cry

 

For months I’ve been keeping on

Just making it through each day

Some days are good days

Some days are bad days

But each day is a new day

 

I tend to hurt a little more

Because I see the truth of life

You can be here today

And tomorrow never open your eyes

 

I value every person

I want you to really feel my hugs

For if anything shall happen you will know that you are loved

 

Sorrow never ends for those who remain

They tend to keep on going and things change day by day

You never forget the pain

You strive to forgive others and make things right

 

For months I’ve been keeping on

Just going on from day to day

More days are good days

And some days are bad days

But I love and appreciate harder each day
