No matter what happens,
you have to go on,
you have to step forward,
and smile.
Look at the good,
not the bad in your life.
Dont look at the hurt,
or the sorrow.
Look up to the skys,
and shine.
My note: This poem is based on my friendship with a girl named Ashley. Even though she had a harsh life she never let that stop her from doing amazing things!
Ohh and Ashley if u read this, I am still crying.
YOU ARE MY INTERNAL HERO!!

I think I know just what problems your friend is going through.
Go, Ashley, keep holding on. Don't give up. You have the right attitude, just keep holding on to it and everything should become better, though not being sure of yor problems, I don't know exactlry if it can become better, but you have to believe the best.
This poem sounds like my Jean-Thomas. He always looked for the good in all things and taught us to find beauty where we were. Jean-Thomas is now an angel in Heaven but still he watches over us and every night we search for his star. Stars are the campfires of Heaven. Ashley must know the angels and be able to see Heaven's campfires to have such a bright light.
