Take My Hand

To those who want a world with peace
To those who want all wars to cease
Find love and hope within our land
Please reach out and take my hand
For those who hunger to be free
For those who look but cannot see
Praying for all to understand
Please reach out and take my hand
With arms outstretched for they who plead
And spending their lives in dire need
Nothing seems to go as planned
Please reach out and take my hand
If I should fall shedding bitter tears
Be overtaken by my fears
And if my castle sinks in the sand
Please reach out and take my hand
When I feel lost with no control
And I’m on my knees, pain in my soul
Help me then to take a stand
Please reach out and take my hand
Darkness falls and the night is long
Alone we are weak, together strong
We can reach the Promised land
If you reach out and take my hand.

This is brilliant!!! Offering YOUR hand to others at first, and then accepting the help of others, and ultimately God. Well done!

Vince, how true that we can find comfort (and give comfort) by looking outside ourselves and reaching out. So many young people don't seem to understand that. This was beautiful! Love, Carolyn

Beautifully done, Vince! Love the flow, and the rhyme doesn't detract from what your words are saying. A powerful projection, I think you'll have to be part octopus to be able to grab all the hands reaching out to you!:) Happy Valentine's Day....Blessings to you and yours...love, Mikki

Wow! What an elegant poem Vince. It depicts the beauty of your soul and eloquence of your pen. It is always enjoyable to read your work. -Mohammad. A Quatrain from my book Rubai'yat of Josh Malihabadi - A Drop & the Ocean: Let the slumber of existence be brief/ Wait not until the book of time turns its leaf/ The city of mirth you have founded in your heart/ Let it not be starved of the reality of grief.
