A Helping Hand

If you fall from grace, your life's a disgrace, What you need is a helping hand. Should you trip on stones; fall or break your bones, Again, you look for a helping hand. Be glad of a friend. One who will extend Help and comfort in your hour of need. But be sure that you, give needed help too. When your support is wanted, take heed. If a friend or stranger stands in danger, And troubles at your doorstep are laid! Don't chasten or chide, or be full of pride, With willing hands reach out and give aid! Sometimes we rely on those passing by When we cannot cope with our trouble. Never count the cost, or all will be lost. For chances are, problems will double. For throughout our life, in times of great strife, We will need every true friend we've known. So let us walk proud, and give praise aloud For the fond love and caring they've shown. Rhymer.
