Through the Trials, Still Holding On -Written by Karaoke Queen/ SuperGirl

I've faced some hard years in the past
Have faced some heartbreaks too
I've lived a life of mostly downs
The ups were far and few

Now they come to me once more
To claim my life again
So of the Fates I must implore
What was my awful sin?

For isn't what you put out in the
world supposed to reap,
Returned to you up to ten-fold,
the things you'll one day keep?

And if that be the case, my friend,
I must ask one time more
Why do the hard times hit so hard?
What do we suffer for?

I know that to appreciate
the good that will be found
We must endure some bad,
so we can tell when good's around

But more and more it seems to me
the evil on this Earth
Has taken on a different form,
a twisted new rebirth

And it just seems to me of late
So many who have heart
Have more than their fair share of pains
right from the very start

I long to feel the sun once more
shine bright upon my face
And wash away these evil times,
slow down this hurried pace

Return to all the ones I love
the happiness they lack
For everyone I love seems to be
stuck on this same track

This time of year's for giving
but I feel at such a loss
For I can't even afford to buy
a box of dental floss

And the places where you go for help
when times like these come by
Said no more help available
with a shrug and soulful sigh

I'm praying for a miracle
for all the ones I love
We need some Angels sent our way,
some help from up above

I know I ask an awful lot
requesting such a task
But if I only get one wish,
it's this I wish to ask

A temporary respite from the
pains we all have felt
A changing in our fortunes,
in how all our cards are dealt

I'm not requesting permanence,
or pure and endless bliss
But surely a vacation from this
wouldn't be amiss

I'll hold strong to my faith within
Though sometimes this can wane
I promise I will share the good
And try not to complain

It's not a bargain that I seek
That's just the way I am
I'll do my best to not lose hope
despite what troubles slam

I cannot promise not to cry
when things get really hard
For emotions overwhelm as
they continue to bombard

But this one thing I can avow
to treat the world in kind
Despite how tough the times may get,
how far the bills behind

I'll always be a friend to all
And to my fellow man
I'll always offer help and hope
where and when I can

I'll keep on wishing, keep on praying
no matter what I do
And hopefully my prayers and wishes
one day will come true
