&quot;You may fail, but fall still fighting, don&#039;t give up whatever you do. Eyes front, head high, to the finish...see it through&quot; <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ~See It Through by Edgar Albert Guest~

The sky opens up
I see a light
Someday I'll die
But not tonight

It's much to soon
To walk away
If not for me
For you I'll stay

This life is hard
You make me smile
Despite the pain
It's all worth while

I'll hold on
If you hold my hand
Time to finish
What I began
