Stumbling seven times but recovering eight.

 I find that my words can be better said in poem or song, so I would like to share one that I have been working on since the 30th of November, I started to write this on a plane, coming back from one of the best times I have had,


Forever in your arms...

As seasons come and seasons go, in a world that's ever changing.
I don't know where I belong, In a world so unforgiving,
How can I be strong?
What keeps me holding on?

A little girl of five years old, Confused by all the fighting,
her parents screaming, shouting out, have they forgotten who they're hurting?
How can she be strong?
What keeps her holding on?

When the world falls around me, and cold storms surround me.
Forever in your arms, Hold me in your arms,
When the world falls around me , and the cold storms surround me, 
Forever in your arms, Hold me in your arms,
of love,


How does a father tell is son, that life ain't so simple?
He's a second class citizen because his colour has condemned him.
How can he be strong?
What keeps him holding on

When the world falls around me, and cold storms surround me.
Forever in your arms, Hold me in your arms,
When the world falls around me , and the cold storms surround me, 
Forever in your arms, Hold me in your arms,
of love....

The song is about how life sometimes is scary, or confusing and sometimes it doesn't make sense, but there are a few special moments in life where that doesn't matter anymore.... as long as one person believes in you, everything is achievable.
