Carry On

by TOM KRAUSE

At times when you feel troubled -
when happiness is gone -
look to the heart within you
for the strength to carry on.

In the heart you will find virtues
such as faith and hope and love.
Gifts that have been sent you
from a power up above.

It is faith that keeps on searching
for the joy the soul hopes for.
It is love that heals the spirit
making it stronger than before.

And should your heart be broken -
if your strength should fade away -
the power of these virtues
will still win out the day.

So remember when you're troubled -
when happiness is gone -
look to the heart within you
for the strength to carry on.
