Encourage and Uplift

When you take a hand from the ditch Pulling someone to a sitting position it is a start But you should go a bit farther Listen to their truth Their story Their life tale Encourage and uplift them Build them up Help them feel human Do not stop pulling until they are in a standing position Tall and proud of themselves Better yet, enthuse and infuse them Until they begin to fly in the air like an eagle So now they can pull others out of ditches

Can't be wrong hey.' Sometimes it's a thankless Task though.. But that should not stop us trying One thing here Marioupol.' (why aren't they Bringing out dead covid victims by the 100s From the steelworks bunkers?) There was no Hygiene dead bodies rotting bucket toilets Masses of people breathing stale air..' just Trying to give a hand up in mentioning this to Any who have Been lied to and in needless Fear..'

This, folks, is typical Caren! You have lifted me out of so many ditches, Caren, and you didn't even realize it! Great poem; great writing.
