For Those I Love Poem by Sandra Sando

I've been travelling on a journey these last few years
A trip filled with sadness, heartache and tears
It's been a struggle sometimes to reach the mountain top
Everything's too hard -you just want your life to stop
But stopping is too easy and it would be a shame
For me to cause the ones I love another lot of pain.

So I must count my blessings count them every day
Every single one of them a reason for me to stay
Each one of my blessings has a name and a beautiful face
And I know I would miss each and every one
If I choose to leave this place
So I'm thanking all my blessings from the bottom of my heart
With you in my life I'll chose to stay
Without you I would depart
