My Right Hand

My right hand is my strength and my guide he is always by my side. My right hand is my leader and friend it is to him I turn when my life is need of a mend. My right hand is the one I lean on the most he is the one who guides me when I feel lost. My right hand is the one who shows me the way the one to whom I speak to first before I have my say. He is the one whom I trust whenever I have got into a fuss. When fear tries to take control of my life I turn to my right hand to lead me from the strife. When I feel lost and don't know what to do my right hand is always present and leads me out of my stew. I would give my life for my right hand to stay free just as He has already done for me. Adapted from: Psalm 16:8

I agree Richard , a right hand is so important - pity the left handed :). P>S> my thesaurus doesn't list that word you asked about - you tell me what it means!
