I should be so grateful.
You picked me up and put me back on my feet.
I should be so grateful, and God I try to be that…for you.
Yes, you picked me up- thanks a lot.
But before that, for all this time before that…
You were there. You seemed to care.

my answer to the implied, "so what next?" is to ackowledge the rope, use the rope if it is useful to you, then reach beyond the rope. if there's no hand, keep reaching until you find one. trust God it'll be the right one at the right time. Dawn
