Hold on, Hold onto me

Don’t let me go

Take a deep breath, make it steady, make it slow

You’re stronger than you know,

Just don’t let go

Stronger than this storm.

Remember to dig deeper with your roots

Don’t be discouraged as the leaves tremble and fall,

Just remember this is not the end,

But merely a season.

Take a deep breath,

Make it steady, make it slow

Your naked limbs may be rigid and cold,

But when it's time, you'll be cozy and warm

Perhaps healing is found within the tears shed from clouds,

You are not invincible, nor are you weak,

I know that life places burdens on our chests

But hold up your shield of bark,

That's why we grow rings, to replace our fragility

Although you'll bend in the wind,

Your resilient within,

Just hold on, hold on

Have the faith of a mustard seed,

Only then will you grow beyond your wildest dreams

But until then,

Take a deep breath,

Make it steady, make it slow

Hold on dear one, and

Don’t let go.
