Hold on. . .

Hold on to what is good even if it is a
handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe in even if it is a
tree that stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do even if it is a
long way from here.
Hold on to life even if it is easier
letting go.
Hold on to my hand even when I have
gone away from you.
