I know it's not easy when life takes away <br />All the things that you've learned and the things that you know <br />To replace them with heartache and pain and sorrow <br /> <br />I know all too well how easy it is to give up the fight <br />When the downs take hold with no end in sight <br />And the pain will go on through the night til' tomorrow <br /> <br />But soon things will change, the ups will return <br />You'll rearrange very fast when you learn <br />The smiles remind you that good times always do follow<br /><br />Kirsty Richards<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/stay-strong-9/
