Trying to make out something from nowhere, <br />Can’t see clearly through the haze, <br />Yet I know nothing will ever be the same, <br />I can feel it in the rush of blood through my veins. <br /> <br /> <br />Have you ever felt lost before? <br />Looking about you, seeing nothing beyond the doubts; <br />Have you ever felt like giving up? <br />Knowing the chances had all run out. <br /> <br /> <br />Life should be sweet, with family and friends God provided; <br />Truth is, living, in itself, is difficult, <br />Too much for my confused mind, my overworked body, <br />More than my weak heart could endure. <br /> <br /> <br />I long for the day when I can sleep blissfully <br />In Death’s comforting arms - distant from the world of mortals; <br />My soul is thirsty, longing for my Creator’s presence; <br />I never would want to part from Him again. <br /> <br /> <br />But there’s my family I can’t leave behind, just yet; <br />Dear God, I don’t want to leave something good undone, <br />For them I tried to take as much as I could; <br />Please give more strength, don’t let me give up just yet.<br /><br />Lilibeth Sacmar Apat<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/caught-between-giving-up-and-holding-on/
