Scaffold

Life can be a struggle
Yet still we have those highs
But for many there are low points too
And that’s where sadness lies. 

The ups and downs are standard
Part the tapestry of life
However for just some of us
The extremities are rife

With feelings of elation
And of depths of dark despair
So still through times of empty
We’re expected to be there

For others who need succour
And unconditional love
Just need someone to be there
Like the hand fits in the glove

In time we come to find out
Who is there for us to hold
Our dear supporting network
Who can be our true scaffold
