A Helping Hand

To be honest my friend, when I’m at a loose end
I can fall prey to worry and fear
So give me a shout and I may help you out
When your burden’s too grievous to bear

I will offer my hand that together we’ll stand
United and facing down fear
And with every shared breath we will contradict death
So that just for today we are spared.
