Hold on to what is good,
Even if it's a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe,
Even if it's a tree that stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do,
Even if it's a long way from here.
Hold on to your life,
Even if it's easier to let go.
Hold on to my hand,
Even if someday I'll be gone away from you.

Thank you for this very fitting remembrance, CM. The first thing I read on this somber anniversary.
i like the repetition of hold on...because that is so important...you do not know what each day brings as this day often reminds us...
Nice and emotional poetry....
This is a beautiful remembrance post. I love the prayer.
Just lovely, thank you.
And may I say, less bleak than mine...the perfect antidote.

No one will ever forget where they were and how they felt when they first heard the news. It's a day that will be forever ingrained in our memories.
