Rise Above

Imagine the people! What had they done? With sadness or depression, Once someone’s son, So innocent the child, Now sadness of eye, Did life deal them that hand? Then left in the sand? Just like a card, Fallen or starved, Who let them down? Backed into the wall, No hope to recall, Who could help rise above? Where was the love? When life’s in the grave? Who could’ve saved? Who are the brave? Can we hold out our hand? Can we really understand? What if it’s you? Or the person you knew, What would you do? Could you raise them above? Hold out your love. 14/06/2016 For contest Becca Teagan

Nicely done Wendy. I like a poem that has a message and this has a good one. I like the question, "What Would You Do". That's the important thing. Too many people "feel sorry" for the down trodden but don't want to get involved. Good job. God Bless, JB

Especially during times of trouble, we reflect on what led us where and how we got there. Hold out your love, that is the driving force behind us all, without that there is sure to be collapse. hugs x
