"Try"

Won't you try?

Just try a little more

Please don't give up

Push yourself

Gain the upper hand

One step further

Its within your reach

One more punch

Another kick

Squeeze out another ounce of fight

Just so you can say with all of your being that you tried

Proving that its never too late

And that you never gave up.

"Held Tight"

In these arms of mine

I find you finally resting

At peace with the word

Even if its only for just one night

A few hours of sweet and tender rest

A break for the constantly fighting the good fight

The battle of climbing up the hills and obstacles put before you

And breaking the twisted circle that spins your life

You are here

Like a child held in a warm embrace

Even if its only for a few hours

Your body rests

In these arms of mine.
