Poem just sent to me

This poem was just sent to me but it sums everyone up on here. We are here for each other all the time. Thanks guys



We'll always be here,
No matter what you say,
Don't let go,
It's gonna be ok.

Don't hold back,
We're here for you,
Take our hands,
We will pull you through.

You're like my little sister,
You mean a lot to my heart,
I'm always gonna be there,
When you fall apart.

If you start to slip,
We start to slip too,
Because we know,
Of the pain you go through.

I have full faith in you,
I know you can hold on,
Take some of my strength,
Don't cry all alone.

I'll dry your tears,
Hold you for a while,
I can't promise to make you laugh,
But I can try to help you smile.

We need you,
Just like you need us,
Because you have got our hands to hold,
You don't need to do this alone.

Broken1,

What a lovely poem. It is words and sentiments like these that get us through the bad times and help us smile at the good times.

I find myself listening to lyrics of songs that now have so much more meaning.

One song I particularly like at the moment is Westlife's "On my shoulder", why not google it and have a look at the lyrics.

Regards, Sarah

I think you mean you raise me up. This was originaly done by Josh Groban. Here it is. The words are buetiful. I think he does it much better than westlife. Chris.

JOSH GROBAN

"You Raise Me Up"

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up... To more than I can be.

And.......... This is another great song that I used to play a lot on the house from hell. If you feel like being defiant when you are being abused play this. Its stronger by Sugababes. Here is the 1st verse. Chris.

I’ll make it through the rainy days
I’ll be the one who stands here longer than the rest
When my landscape changes, rearranges
I’ll be stronger than I’ve ever been
No more stillness, more sunlight,
Everything’s gonna be alright

Westlife - one of my favorites (and not ashamed to admit it lol). I find a lot of their lyrics quite powerful.

One song that has always touched me right from a young teenager to today is the Eagles "Desparado".

This one always does me in -
Labie Siffre - 'Something inside so strong'

The higher you build your barriers
The taller I become
The farther you take my rights away
The faster I will run
You can deny me
You can decide to turn your face away
No matter, cos there's....

Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Tho' you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no, something inside so strong
Oh oh oh oh oh something inside so strong

The more you refuse to hear my voice
The louder I will sing
You hide behind walls of Jericho
Your lies will come tumbling
Deny my place in time
You squander wealth that's mine
My light will shine so brightly
It will blind you
Cos there's......

Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Tho' you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no, something inside so strong
Oh oh oh oh oh something inside so strong

Brothers and sisters
When they insist we're just not good enough
When we know better
Just look 'em in the eyes and say
I'm gonna do it anyway
I'm gonna do it anyway

Something inside so strong
And I know that I can make it
Tho' you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no, something inside so strong
Oh oh oh oh oh something inside so strong

Brothers and sisters
When they insist we're just good not enough
When we know better
Just look 'em in the eyes and say
I'm gonna do it anyway
I'm gonna do it anyway
I'm gonna do it anyway
I'm gonna do it anyway

Because there's something inside so strong
And I know that I can make it
Tho' you're doing me, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no, something inside so strong
Oh oh oh oh oh something inside so strong

Because there's something inside so strong
And I know that I can make it
Tho' you're doing me, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no, something inside so strong
Oh oh oh oh oh something inside so strong

Chris M, these are the Lyrics of the song I was talking about.

On my shoulder

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na,

All around the world
All around the world
Someone needs somebody
Let me be your shield
All around the world
All around the world
Someone's feeling lonely but I know you never will
'Cause when it all gets too much

Put your head down on my shoulder, a little warmth when it gets colder
Now I don't know the things, that you're going through
But you can put your head down on my shoulder, wear the storm 'till it blows over
I know you're there for me too, know I'll be there for you

You're waiting for a change, you're waiting for the day
And all that you remember is with you once again
There's a long road ahead and it stretches out for miles
And if you want some company I'll walk with you a while
Oh and when the road gets too rough you can

For you, for you,
When it all gets too much

Put your head on my shoulder (on my shoulder)
Put your head on my shoulder (on my shoulder)
Put your head on my shoulder now
You can put your head on my shoulder (a little warmth when it gets colder)
Put your head on my shoulder (I don't know the things, that you're going through, baby)
Put your head on my shoulder (wear the storm 'till it blows over)
Put your head on my shoulder (I know you're there for me too)
Put your head on my shoulder now (so I'll be there for you)

Repeat to end of song
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Love Sarah x
