Stay strong!

Stay strong!

When darkness calls upon you,
When troubles hurt your mind,
When life calls here to bring you,
Thoughts you cannot leave behind.

Then is time for your devotion,
Then is time for you, hold strong,
Show your love and your emotion,
And stand proud where you belong.

When torment hurts your calling,
And sadness falls behind,
With tears of silence falling,
Reach in, inside your mind.

Let memories enfold you,
Let distant thought stand proud,
Let history enfold you,
With heartfelt love avowed.

But speak of love within here,
Though clouded minds grow dim,
Remember love is sincere,
Never hide that love within.

‘Stay strong’

I am a 71 year old retired coal miner, who spent 30 years working underground. Having time on my hands, and in order to keep my brain exercised, I decided to try to write poetry and put down on paper some of my life experience, and my hopes, dreams and other thoughts. I also do a little gardening, but I am hopeless at housework. Much to my wife's displeasure.
