Holding On

The moments we once shared together,
Showed me you are someone I must cherish forever.

But when cold fills your night,
I may not always be able to give you a warm embrace.

And when you stumble in a fight,
I may not be able to offer you a hand to help you rise.

When fate demands us to walk different paths,
I may not be able to be by your side.

Yet still, I will always plead to God,
To grant you ease when roads get tough.

Dear... the prayer I plead resides in a place,
Where my heart will always keep near to your side.
