Holding On

I gaze up at the beautiful baby blue sky
and I anticipate the promise of
ever long happiness

The warm soothing rays of sunshine cast
a glimmer of hope onto an ordinarily
bleak and dreary canvas

Every thought and every desire for the future
rests on the prospect of knowing an existence
far beyond the boundaries of the clouds

My sense of sorrow will be lifted when I can
finally reach an alternate plane of peace-
an amazing world of second chances
and long awaited reunions

I dream of a heaven that waits patiently for
my arrival because it’s the one beacon of light
that convinces me to continue holding on
