Lend a hand

Lend a hand

A Poem by Jack...
"

Something we all need to do

Lend a hand

By jack

 

The sky is turning red

Something in the distance

Laughter fills the halls

An overgrown resistance

 

People flee the streets

Clocks of ever winding

Nothing to discreet

In the words I’m finding

 

When the screams are heard

Little children crying

Stories so absurd

What’s the use in trying

 

Set aside your plan

Bring the hope together

Stop and lend a hand

In this stormy weather

 

Lead the fired charge

Know what you believe in

Of a kindred soul

Sadness soon is leaving

 

And the sun will rise

Every new dawn turning

You can be the light

In the lessons learning

 

Time to take a stand

Come to your conclusion

When you lend a hand

You are the solution

truly enjoyed this
lending a hand can make such a difference in a persons life
the taker and the giver lending is a two sided gift

Thank you for reading Holly. I am smiling now.
This is a truth those who sit on picket lines or on "Wall St." need to hear. We have enough voices, "crying in the wilderness". It is time to let you actions heal the issues.
Wonderful! You should run for president! ha.

Thanks David, but I think I use to much common sense to run for President.
