REACHING
A hand is there
********
I was down and felt so alone,
When a hand reached out to me.
Through helplessness and many tears,
I was blind and didn’t see.
++
I didn’t reach to grab that hand –
Falling into such despair,
Not recognizing anything –
Didn’t know that it was there.
++
I stumbled and it helped me up,
Then gently wiped my tears.
No matter what I ever did,
It was there throughout the years.
++
It helped to lead me safely from
Many problems that I’d meet.
It gave me strength to face my foes
And stand on my own feet.
++
I always will appreciate
What I’ve grown on to depend –
It’s the loving hand of friendship
Reaching out from my best friend.

The Hand of God is always there whether we see or not that is what I got from this creation.
Powerful lines, brilliant
I can relate to feeling this way-that helping hand that gets you through the day
Your final lines soothed me in a good manner.
