My young friends, teens and young adults! This column is specifically for you. Today, I have a poem that is directed at those of you who may have gone or may be going through a crisis and you just need some encouraging words. Especially for those of you who may have endured any form of abuse, be it sexual, emotional, verbal and or physical. Be you female or male, abuse has not favorite gender. Please know that you are "wonderfully and fearfully made." Hold on, survive and what ever else you do, keep moving forward...KEEP ON GOING!

"KEEP ON GOING!"
By Ms. Meetta J. Martin from her book of poetry
"You can't Say That!"; Poetry to strengthen, Heal and Encourage~2002
You wonder where your life is going.
People tell you that you are on the wrong road.
DON'T wonder what their motive is!
Survival IS NOT EXCLUSIVE!
You live your life, trying to do things the right way.
NO SMOKING! NO DRINKING!
You may even go to church and pray.
IN any case, whatever is happening, know this, Life has a purpose!
KEEP ON GOING!
People who knew you way back when, you were a kid, some trying hard, but still they don't understand how you can still smile!
For all of the hurt and pain you went through.
It tried to kill your spirit, but it didn't!
Think of the many others, who were challenged with the same problems
and didn't live to tell it.
They didn't live to see more peaceful days.
But YOU DID!
You were chosen by the nature of God, to KEEP ON GOING.
Now in your older days, your ways have changed.
You're no longer friends with revenge and hate.
Peace and faith is on your mind.
Letting GOD in to heal your spirit.
Letting God in to love you, he gave and will give you strength, courage
and the ability to share your stories so that
you may be able to pass on your blessings.
So that, YOU for all that you endured,
will be able to STRENGTHEN AND ENCOURAGE!
For now though, just KEEP ON GOING!
BYE NOW!
