Still Hanging On

Many trials I overcame
There I remained just the same
Through drought, wind, rain, and hail
I hung there and did not fail

The suns face, less I did see
As I hung there on the tree
My beauty then I did show
But struggled not to let go

A strong north wind came that day
Force so great I could not stay
On a rock I hang on still
Though the air is starting to chill

I hang on for you to see
This is what matters to me
If to you, joy I did bring
It will cause my heart to sing

This has been on here sence fall in the art section thought I’d add it here too…....
