Huberta Van Akkeren Poet Quatern

Helping You

I want to help you, I really do
But what does my help mean for you?
Sympathy is not the way to go
Feeling sorry for you, is just a show

That takes away your choice for you,
I want to help you, I really do
Let me walk at your side as you lead the way
Let me hear what you have to say

Let me be your sounding board
Reflecting thoughts, feelings that you hoard
I want to help you, I really do
But to yourself you must be true

Let me be a mirror clear,
Not a voice whispering in your ear.
Let my actions empower you, for you
I want to help… you… I really do

Jared Pickett March 4, 2014 at 6:23 PM Powerful!! Has this person read this? I really liked the use of the Quatern form to express your thoughts, good choice!!Asavvy1 Huberta Van Akkeren March 4, 2014 at 6:36 PM Hi Jared, thank-you for your comment...yes the repetition of the Quatern was the obvious choice. It was written for no-one in particular...and for any-one who needs a little help. Cheers Huberta
