I will not succumb to life’s design or the pressures of the tears, not as long as I can draw a breath and know that someone cares

I will get tired and weary, but will rest to fight again, I have come too far too long, to lay down in front of this world’s train

Depression sneaks up on the sly, to rob smiles from the day, need time to cry a little, then once more be on my way

Friends offer the blood of life, the promise and the hope, smiles they bring back to me, all help me to find a way to cope

I see my angels gather round, each a hug and kiss supreme, I know my times still not here, I just woke from a dark dream

So I offer up apologies, for any worries I may have cause, I thank the ones who cared,the ones who’s love I put on pause

I will return one day at a time, I will bring back to you my smile

All because of all of you, I’ll be whole again in a little while
