~ Keep Walking ~

Keep walking ...........


Here we stand
Dressed in pain,
Covered with scars
From wounds
We did not ask for Or deserve.

So what now?
We can't go back and relive our lives.

We can't take back the innocence we lost
Or make the sadness we felt into happiness.

But we can go on from here
So let us start
Stretch out our hand
Close our eyes
And slowly let the pain slip away
Let go of the sadness
It belongs to yesterday
And let's walk.

The earth is firm beneath our feet
The sun is warm on our face
Smiles at our effort
And sends us strength.

We can't stay, looking back,
Lest we falter.
We must face forward,
Eyes wide open,
And keep on walking

..........and keep walking
