How I wish I could squeeze your hand <br />and tell you this is not the end <br />I pray that you'd believe me <br />You're lying on a small hospital bed <br />with, no doubt, terrifying thoughts in your head <br />But you mustn't give up, I beg, please. <br /> <br />I know you must be tired of fighting <br />and letting go must feel so inviting <br />But you are young and strong <br />It's been so painful and quiet <br />Nothing to entertain you Ryan <br />But if you think it's over, you're wrong <br /> <br />I hear that you're not responding anymore <br />Do you think God has closed your only door? <br />Please keep believing you will heal <br />I can't imagine what you've been through <br />but pain and tears make you stronger, they do <br />So keep on pulling through this ordeal <br /> <br />You must think positively, believe in angels <br />They are watching over you, God is as well <br />You know we all love you. <br />Stop thinking that you're slipping away <br />Don't listen to what strangers say <br />There's so much in life you can do <br /> <br />How I wish I could talk to you <br />Understand we don't want to lose you <br />struggling they way you have <br />Now you have a beautiful chance to live life <br />A second chance to win your inner fight <br />You will see how good can arise from the bad <br /> <br />Just imagine looking back one day @ your lowest low <br />and smile that you overcame the hardest blow <br />Only you can conquer your fear <br />I write this in hopes that you find <br />there's nothing stronger than a positive mind <br />It's not your time to let the world disappear<br /><br />Caroline Guedes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ryan-5/
