An Outstretched Hand

Each of us was made by God
and some of us grew tall.
Others stood out in the wind
their branches bent and fell.
Those of us who walk in light
must help the ones in darkness up.
For that’s what life is all about
and love is all there is to life.

Each of us was made by God
beautiful in His mind’s eye.
Those of us who turned out sound
should look across our shoulders once
and help the weak ones to their feet.

It only takes an outstretched hand.
