Holding on to the smiles of strangers, <br />Holding on to the tiny steps, <br />Holding on to the homeless face, <br />Holding on to the river of tears, <br />Holding on to the cries of mothers. <br /> <br />Holding on to the souls silence, <br />Holding on to the bright visions, <br />Holding on to the hearts rhythms, <br />Holding on to the waves of rivers, <br />Holding on to the roots of trees, <br />Holding on to the beats of drums, <br />Holding on to the spirits dance. <br />holding on....<br /><br />aida melesse<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/holding-on-43/
