A Helping Hand Poem by David Harris
A Helping Hand
In the distance a lonely bell,
tolls a solemn beat,
for a weary stranger,
who has lost a foothold,
on life’s road that’s steep,
but with a helping hand,
he can get up to his feet again.
Whenever we feel troubled by life’s many toils,
and feel we have been beaten
beyond anyone’s repair,
exhausted by circumstances,
over which we have no control,
but know that with a helping hand
we could make another stand.
Therefore, on our life’s journey,
if we chance to meet a weary stranger
who could use a helping hand,
let us hold out ours,
to give him the strength to carry on.
In doing this kind deed,
he may return the favour in our time of need.
Perhaps you majored in Psychology and know how down trodden one can be at times and perhaps that one, just one smile or hand as you say, could save them. So very well written and ever so true. Now, perhaps you could solve world peace or at least peace here.~~~~marci.xo~~~ :)
Solem and true the tune of the soul hand held out in time of need with out said such of no worth rings out muchless be called a human being.
