May laughter be with you where-ever to you go <br />And wealth and happiness from now on may you know <br />Life has not be too kind to you as of late <br />But like 'tis said all good things come to those who do wait <br />life as we do know is not always fair <br />You have had to battle your dogs of despair <br />Your own heavy life's cross you have had to bear <br />But through all of your hard times you have hung in there <br />But hard times like good times do come to an end <br />And for you good times are coming hang in there my friend <br />You manage to smile despite your inner strife <br />And you do make the most of your worrisome life <br />You never do say that your good days are gone <br />And despite your hardships you keep on keeping on.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hang-in-there-my-friend/
