Trust there is a hand
reaching from the sky
that can lift you up
during your darkest hour.
Trust there is a hand
to steady your walk through life
when the day’s pressures
cause you to lose your balance.
Trust there is a hand
that can heal the hurt
capsizing your mind and body
as they seek peace and harmony.
Trust there is a hand
outstretched, and always waiting for you.
Don’t be afraid to grasp it
and let it lift you up.

Thanks Aurora, Paul, and Andrew.
It is true…the hand is already there. It’s always there, as you’ve said Paul and Aurora.
I agree with Aurora.
Especially like the repeating first line and sense that the hand is something there, already, and it’s a matter of recognizing it. I think so too.
I love that image of the outstretched hand lifting us up. So true!
Thanks Pat, Dan, Gautami, and Polona. I very much appreciate your kind comments.
Gautami…All of us struggle at times. It’s inevitable. I believe our souls rest on a bedrock of hope and faith. It’s already there. We just have to bring it to our consciousness. I suspect your hope and faith is much stronger than it seems to you at times. I have a sense about this with you. Take care.
thank you, don. i needed this one after a stressful and frustrating day.
At times hope and faith do not help at all. Why? I ask myself finding no answers.
OK !!!
Even when you can’t see or feel it. Thanks!!
