"THESE HARD TIMES: KEEP THE FAITH!" in "RESTLESS: POETICALLY-SPEAKING"

I think we both have been ambushed.
Reality has once again challenged us with many,
like it often does.
Can we beat the odds?
Can we overcome these obstacles?

I’d like to be your superhero once again,
even when I’m not always strong.
I’ll try not to give in to the worry and pain.
We’ve always been the best of friends.

“Keep the faith,” you always say.
You know I’ll fight to keep you here any other day.
Hope there’ll be away.
May He always keep that smile upon your face.

Stay here.
I know I can’t always have you near.
I’ve got to brave too,
fighting off these fears for me and you
in hopes that soon…both our dreams will come true.
