Hold – Poem by Tom Heffernan [30/10/2013]

​In the moments when nothing has felt so cold
At the brink of the edge when you feel you might fold
Just hold. Just hold.

I know you might feel that you want to give in
That to stop and to quit would be like you win
That everything which passes has a deafening din
But just hold. Just hold.

There is a link to your arm which awaits a salute
A shoulder, an ear; just be strong; be astute
Take time. It’s not a one way, dead end route
Just hold. Just hold.
