Hold on to what is good
even if it is
a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe
even if it is
a tree which stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do
even if it is
a long way from here.
Hold on to life even when
it is easier letting go.
Hold on to my hand even when
I have gone away from you.
- from Many Winters, 1974
I wrote this in one of my notebooks so long ago that I don't even remember when. I should read some more of her work.
