I'Ll Brave The Day Poem by Ernestine Northover

I'Ll Brave The Day

Rating: 4.9


I’m on my own,
alone.
But I mustn’t let it get me down,
I mustn’t frown.
A smile is the order of the day,
I should obey.
It’s hard though, one often feels low.
What can I do,
it’s so easy to feel blue,
when there’s no one to lend an ear,
no one to hear.
The tears can come, it matters little now,
and I’ll manage somehow,
to move along.
I’ll try to stay strong,
now I’m on my own,
alone.
I try not to think,
or my heart would sink.
So I’ll brave the day,
he would want it that way.

Oh Ernestine, I do so relate to this piece of your broken heart. He sure would want you to brave each day, that is why we do it, it is so hard to be strong when we have lost our right arm. this brought a tear. I am here alone too my dear, lets brave it out together huh? The girl guides promise, is a must stick. Feeling for you, your friend, Tai

A brave little poem from a beautiful soul. It's hard to 'brave' all the time - and remember, it's also OK to be sad. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I don't have anything to say, except that I read it; and feel humbler and less 'wise' and that is a very good thing. Love from David
