Press On Poem by Chris Embrick

When life's filled with pain
And your out of pills
When you're tired of being tired
Jumping through hoops and drills
Press on
My brother
Press on
My sister
Press on

If you're going in circles
With a full tank of angst
Just slow down
and look around
You'll find reason for thanks
Many have walked in your shoes
Needing more, having less
Keeping your heart on what matters
is part of the test
Press on
My brother
Press on
My sister
Press on

Most people work hard
Some with holes in their socks
But if your dream is stilled packaged
Then look outside the box
There are no easy answers
For all that life demands
Put hard work and courage
Behind all your plans
Press on
My brother
Press on
My sister
Press on

Use common sense
Give every day your best
When you've done all you can do
Give God the rest
Press on
My brother
Press on
My sister
Press on.
