Rise Up, My Friend May 1, 2007

grief comes, and you sit.

and sit you must for a  moment.

but only be waylaid for a moment

for your life is not over

and spring will come again.

rise up, my friend

rise up.

it is time for you to live again

you must fight for your life

it’s not your time to die.

take my hand

we’ll make this journey together.

come on, now

take my hand.

it’s not time for you to lay down.

get up.

live and love those that are still here

you are surrounded by love.

rise up and take my hand

and we will take this journey together.
