QUOTE:
WHEN YOUR HEART IS HEAVY
Sat***ay 4 June,1994
When your heart is heavy
And your thoughts just weigh you down
And you think your life can never change
And when the mirrored face each morning
Greets you with a frown
And every day just seems a losing game
Just hold onto this simple thought
And put your mind at ease
And soon you'll get to lift the winner's cup
For when the whims of fortune
Bring you crashing to your knees
The only way for you to go is up
The hardest fight you'll ever face
Is not against your foe
Nor does it matter where you started out
The road in life will sometimes lead you
Where you want to go
Or stop you cold and make you do without
So be thankful for the smallest blessings
God's bestowed on you
For love and friends and memories and health
And put an end to second guessing
Things you know are true
And win this life long battle with yourself.
I've often watched the rain come down
From out of leaden skies
Spoiling plans and making days seem long
But now I realize it's not the sun
Which makes you wise
It's hard times change the weak in you to strong
So happiness will come again
And touch you with its kiss
And fortune will refill your empty cup
I cannot tell you how or when
I'll only tell you this
Life's much too dear to think of giving up.
