Strength

Everybody needs help sometimes But not me she said I need no one to carry me I am strong enough to walk or run Through anything I face But are you strong enough I asked To show the courage to reach out During your times of doubt Let someone’s hand be placed in yours To help pull you back to even When you fall behind I know that deep within our minds The only thing weaker Than asking for ones help Is admitting we need help at all But those are just foolish thoughts Placed by people who have never Learned what it is to care There is no weakness In our need to share In everybody’s life at times Our emotions lie bare All dragged out and spent It’s only the strong among us Who reach out to take an offered hand There to help pull us back up To make a stronger stand Oh yes I know so well You can take care of yourself But even Superman himself Needs a helping hand To remove his kryptonite To regain the strength To do what’s right So here my friend Here’s my hand to help Do you have the strength…
