Hold on and be strong

Cousin just hold on
Its going to be all right
I'm gonna be by your side
Through this hard night

I know you're really scared
I would be too
But I’m gonna be here
Together we'll get through

I know you don’t want to die
That you want to live
You want to get married
And have a family and kids

Only now I realise
Just how strong you are
you’ve been so brave
And made it so far

I know I could not do it
And your 15 just like me
And I know it hurts you so
It tortures you deeply

But I wipe away your tears
And you replace them with a smile
I say if you just hold on
It will all be worth the while

I say close your eyes for now
And sleep till the morn
I’ll still be at your side
Until awakens dawn

And when you’re asleep
I promise I shall pray
Just for one more night
Just for another day

If we can just make it
I know they’ll find a cure
And all this pain your suffering
You will suffer no more

So now I close my eyes
And let god watch over you
I hope you know
That I watch over you too

I awake in the morning
Too see if you’re ok
And there you lie
Words I cannot stay

Tears run down my cheeks
As I stare at you there
A smile on your face
Like your somewhere free of care

We tried to make it
Just that extra day
But now you’re in peace
Somewhere far away

i close my eyes tightly
just hoping you knew
how much we all
truly loved you

I then walk slowly to you
As I continue to cry
And for the last time I hug you
This time with goodbye

Please say a prayer at night for all those young people who suffer cystic fibrosis as my cousin does
