Hang In There

By Selena Millman

(3/29/1998)







I know life can be tough

I feel it too



Sometimes it's so hard

And you're full of pain

That you don't know what to do



You gotta be strong

And you can't give up



I know it's hard

Very Hard

I know how that feels



But somehow you got to do it

You got to get the strength



People tell me I'm strong

But I don't see it

I don't know maybe they're right



But please just hang in there

Lean on me if you need to

Lean On Me
By Selena Millman

We all get weak sometimes
We're only human

Consider me your friend
And I'll be true

I'll be there when others might not
I'll care with all my heart

I will listen without judging
And let you cry on my shoulder

Use my strength to get through
I'll give all I can

Even when I can't be there
I'm there in spirit

Feel my prayers
Imagine me hugging you

I can't promise to know what to say
But I do promise to care

Let this be there when I can't
To remind you you've got a friend in me

When we are far apart
You remain in my heart

Put God First
By Selena Millman

God, I want to always put You first
But I always fall short

Help me trust You, God
With all my heart

Help me praise You
With all my soul

Help me love You
The way You deserve

I want to love You
With all my heart, mind,
might, strength, and soul

Teach me to put You first, God

Another Answer
By Selena Millman



Suicide is not the answer
It is not the only way


You may be in pain
I understand it is hard to cope


There are places to go
There are people that can help



Please do not give up
And please don't give in


Pain may be all around you
But please believe me



There is another answer

Something To Think About
By Selena Millman





Let me give you something
To think about


Differences are superficial
What's inside is important



Why do people hurt each other
Please think hard about this



Let's help each other
We need to honestly care


Don't assume things
Take time to understand



We all can make a difference
All people can help others


Use your heart to care
Do whatever you can



Every little bit helps



How can you help
Any way you want



Did you get my point
Let's work together to help each other

Simple Things
By Selena Millman





People need to take time
To enjoy the simple things in life



Watching an animal play
Or rub against you lovingly



Sharing a meal
With family and friends



Spending time with a friend
Even if you’re just watching TV


The beauty of nature
Don’t just look
Actually notice it



Life goes too fast
Enjoy the beauty in things
Cherish the important things

Don't Give Up
By Selena Millman





Every now and then
We all feel we can take no more



Some feel this more
Others feel it less



You may feel alone
But you are not alone



Someone cares
We just have to find them


Giving up is easy
But some things
Are worth fighting for



Don't give up
Things will get better



Hang in there
And hold on



Just Do Not Give Up

True To My Heart
By Selena Millman


There are fights worth fighting
But other times we need to walk away


Know when to bite your tongue
But when to speak up


Treat others the way you want them to treat you
Be good to them and hopefully they'll be good to you


Break my heart if you must
But I'll keep my heart on my sleeve


People will do whatever they do
I refuse to let others change me


I will stay true to my heart
And true to my beliefs

Heart In It
By Selena Millman


My heart is in it
My heart's in everything I do


I'm never phony
I believe in being real


I wear my heart on my sleeve
And care so very much


My heart is in my writing
As well as in my photos


My heart is there for my friends
I am a truly loyal friend


So when you want to use me
Mistreat me or walk all over me


Do not forget
My heart is in it

What Can I Do For You Today, God
By Selena Millman




What can I do for You today, God?


If there is anything
You want me to know


If there is anything
You want me to do or not do



If there is anyone
You want me to help or bless



Please tell me
In a way I understand



If You tell me now
Anytime today
Anytime tomorrow
Or whenever



Please tell me
In a way I understand
