Hold on
Hold onto the little ones
Hold on and never let go
Those here still, those gone too soon
Hold on with all the love you have
Remember every single breath
the good moments, the crying nights
little damp kisses and crinkly eyes
Round cheekies and funny crooked teeth
Hold on to each memory
Hold on to each day
The pain is unending
the voices are stilled
the arms are still empty
but hold on to the little ones
to all of your love
and believe that you'll have them again
