A Helping Hand
A reaching hand
An open heart
Is all it takes
To make a start.
A start to heal
To dry some tears
To shed some light over darkened years.
Fingers unfurled
Reaching towards
Arms outstretched
Healing heart sores.
An open ear
A shoulder so strong
A head laid down
A feeling of calm.
A reaching hand
Fingers unfurled
Open ears - shoulders made wet with tears.
These are the things needed to make a start,
To change a life
To heal a heart.
A Willing Hand
A working hand
A willing heart
Brings us step beyond the start.
To plant a seed
To push a plow
To feed hungry mouths
Not later but now.
To lift an axe
To build a home
To hammer a nail
A soul no longer forced to roam.
A head held high
A contented sigh
A smiling face
A happy, peaceful place.
These things made true - a fact - no longer dreams,
Wishes come true upon the wings.....of.....
A reaching hand
An open heart
The end result to the start.
