Carrying On

How many times can one heart weep

over the same familiar sorrow?

When do you know if the heart can keep

the precious memories for tomorrow?

When do we know we will survive

the heartbreak of a loved one lost?

Or do we even want to be alive

when we consider each breath’s cost?

Yet, this day broke fresh and new

and the sun rose slowly to the sky,

tinting the earth in a soft warm hue

as it slowly and steadily passed it by.

I will be like the sun and carry on

with touching lives around me.

Then perhaps one day you will be gone,

drowned out by the love around me.
