Escape From a Sinkhole
Escape From a Sinkhole
There is a friend of mine
He is so very dear to me
His smile is like sunshine
Friends we will always be
He has a heart that is very kind
Where others take advantage of
Since love tends to really be blind
Usually the use is mistaken for love
One day when he was helping someone
By pulling that person out of a sinkhole
He didn’t see his ground caving in some
As he pulled, his strength was taking its toll
The one who he was helping, didn’t even see
That the ground around him was caving in
Well I was there, it just so happened to be
So I began to pull him from that situation
He is just about out of that hole right now
As we keep working on setting him free
We will figure it out someway somehow
For him to get above ground eventually
The escape from a sinkhole is hard to do
Unless you have a special hand to lend
Coming from one, you can hold on to
That is only found within a true friend
