Holding On

Simple-Man87

I've seen that look before
There's pain behind those eyes
Screaming in silence, your cries

I can see a little more
Of you dying each day
Wanting nothing more, than to stay

Your smile shines most
When you're with your heart
But it darkens deep, when you part

You hold them tight
As a loving father should
I know you'd hold them forever, if you could

Hard times make us
As goes the old saying
You keep your head up, I'll keep praying.

Praying for you
To anyone who listens
Cause that twinkle in your eye, deserves to glisten.

      Everyone's twinkle deserves to glisten. But it's hard when there is such a cost.

        Indeed. Thank you. It's a long hard road.
