Reach Out Your Hand
Who’s that man, you just walked by,
Tell me, could you have really helped,
He sure looked like someone familiar,
Was it our Saviour above, Himself.
Who Knows?
Sitting here alone just thinking,
About sickness and of health,
Of all the things that we do wrong,
In ways that we could really help.
Reach out a hand to someone,
Yes anyone at all,
Offer to read or walk with them,
Hold them so they won’t fall.
Sit with them in lonely hours,
Cry with them or smile,
Give what time you have to share,
With each woman, man or child.
Ah yes you see them everywhere,
In shelters or on a corner all alone,
Just looking for someone to care,
So they don’t feel they’re left alone.
People often forgotten,
By their loved ones, once a family,
Just tossed aside like garbage,
By ones like you and me.
No more tears left to cry,
No reason for a smile or a dream,
As we look into their saddened face,
We hear their cry of scream.
Just take the time to smile,
Say good morning as you pass them by,
Show them that one person truly cares,
Wipe their tears when they cry.

P.S. Even our neighbors, Reach out.. as I did after 8yrs of living beside her. Her husband just passed on last weekend, R.I.P. Eric - and I found out she likes Scrabble and Gardening as much as I - we share often NOW when we are watering our gardens! I even shared a plant with her and gave her warm caring hugs the day Eric passed on, I went to the door to leave flowers /sentim. card and she walked out with a her watering can in hand - I was like" Elanor I didn't want to bother you and she kinda' grinned and we hugged) It was meant to be, and I walked slowly around the short fence and was quite! We shared a lot and tears fell - Anyway - she knows to come over anytime!
I thought I'd share that with ya'- I bet it brightened your day Rose1 :) Have a Wonderful Happy Night!
Say good morning as you pass them by,
Show them that one person truly cares,
Wipe their tears when they cry.

Beautiful reminder to reach out to others - who knows when the tables will be turned? We could be them, someday (sooner than many think, especially with the economy like it is). And when it does, we only pray no one will be apathetic - well done, Rose -
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
God bless you my friend.
