    HOW DO I GO ON?

     WE STOOD IN FRONT OF OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
    YOU LOOKED IN MY EYES AND HELD MY HANDS
    AS YOU WHISPER "I"LL LOVE YOU THROUH THICK AND THIN"
    HOW WAS I SUPPOSE TO KNOW THIS WOULD COME TO AN END?
    HOW DO I GO ON?
    HOW DO I FACE THE NIGHT ALONE?
    NEEDING YOU TO HOLD
    KNOWING THAT YOU ARE NOT COMING HOWE
    PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME HOW DO I GO ON?
    WE HAVE A FAMILY TO RAISE
    BILLS THAT ARE PILING UP THAT NEED TO BE PAID
    I KNOW THINGS ARE ROUGH BUT WE CAN WORK IT OUT
    THERE IS NO NEED FOR US TO YELL AND SHOUT
    PLEASE DON'T TURN AND WALK AWAY
    THE KIDS ARE YELLING FOR YOU TO STAY
    I HAD TO HOLD THEM AND WIPE THE TEARS FROM THEIR EYES
    SLOWLY I TOOK BOTH OF THEM BACK INSIDE
    HOW DO I GO ON?
    HOW DO I FACE THE NIGHT ALONE?
    NEEDING YOU TO HOLD
    KNOWING THAT YOU ARE NOT COMING HOME
    PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME HOW DO I GO ON?
    FOUND THE STRENGHT FROM WITHIN
    TO GET OUT OF BED AND START MY NEW LIFE ALL OVER AGAIN
    GOT A NEW JOB AND MY VERY OWN PLACE
    I WAS LEARNING WHAT IT FELT LIKE TO HAVE A SMILE ON MY FACE
    NOW, I KNOW HOW TO GO ON
    I'M NOT AFRAID TO FACE THE NIGHT ALONE
    AND I DO NOT NEED YOU TO HOLD
    SOMEONE TOLD ME HOW TO GO ON
    AND I DID...................

    I don't know who told you to go on; but it was one of the best pieces of advice you, and we all can get.

    WHEN YOUR SELF ESTEEM WAS AS LOW AS MINE BACK IN THE DAY I DIDN'T THINK I COULD MAKE IT ON MY OWN BUT WITH MY FAMILIES SUPPORT I WAS ABLE TO REALIZE THAT I AM A POWERFUL WOMAN AND I CAN DO ANYTHING I SET MY MIND TOO. THAT GOES FOR ANYONE

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
