Distant Troubles - Closer

O'er many a stormy water, between raging storms we see a time of peace, tranquility, a calmness - time to be. When we think we travel the road alone, when life is all despair; reach out to distant far flung friends and let us show we care! We may not be able to lend a hand, but we can a friendly ear. By listening, give you voice - to make a stand, allow that shed of tear. To know we are not by ourself, find things in life are 'fun'. To recognise we're not on a shelf, Our lives but just begun. For each has a place upon this earth, though sometimes it's hard to see; but if we kew what to expect from birth - we might not want to be. Those who help others are angels, that dwell within this world; each has his own wrangles, but when shared they become unfurled. So I repeat When we think we travel the road alone, when life is all despair; reach out to distant far flung friends and let us show we care!
