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.

Houdini the Heroic Wild Boar
OMYGOD, there are dedicating that Elton John song "a candle in the wind" to Houdini the Runaway Scottish Pig (they keep interjecting "houdini the runaway pig" into every stanza!) on the radio.
Why Houdini? Because he escaped a truck, being unloaded into an abattoir to be turned into bacon or whatever. Apparently he evaded like 16 slaughterhouse employees, jumped over two 5 foot fences, and through a sliding door and was on the lam for 13 days!
Good piggy! That is quite a feat. He only weighed 130 pounds. Hell, my dog cannot jump over something a foot tall.
Unfortunately on Saturday night Houdini met his end, which will no doubt sadden all the people who were calling for him to be saved from the slaugherhouse.
"No one was hurt" they say. Jeesh. Houdini is dead. But he had a free life for nearly two weeks, and is the hero of mistreated porcine friends everywhere.
