Best Reach Out Poems
I reach out
For the icy, dulling numbness
Of whipping winter winds
For the frozen laughter
Of ice packed play by snow-capped kids
I reach out
For the green, fresh spring grass
And the blooming of path side flowers
For the chirps of birds
In baby budding trees
I reach out
For the penetrating summer sun
And its fiery furnace of light
For the lazy dogs and the cool breeze
In summer shades
I reach out
For the autumn colors
Of lovely leaves ending their lives
For the hum of gentle animals
Working toward the winter
I reach out
For all of life and what it brings
For its substance, its character
Its emotions, its feelings.
And reaching for them
For the known and unknown
Works of God and all his beauty
I step lightly on this earth
As one man bound to duty
I know the power of a kind word
When feeling isolated or alone
To know someone is there for you
You are no longer on your own
Feeling victimised or vulnerable
Judged or dismissed
Ignored , mistreated
Invisible …..like you do not exist
The power behind a kind word or gesture
Is somewhat underrated
It has the strength to move mountains
Its human connection and worth understated
Let us reach out and make connection
With spontaneous everlasting affection
Wake up and say it
We care! We care!
Then do it
Starting up! Starting up!
A gentle flow with glow
In the right direction
Don’t just stop it
Let it grow! Let it grow!
Come together! Come together!
Those harmonized handshakes
This is all what it takes
The phones are ringing
Mailboxes are kicking
What is it? What is it?
A spectacular network of aspiration
Once again that invincible perpetual voice
Shouted with velocity
Reach out! Reach out! Reach out!
brokenhearted
hanging by a thread
how far can arms extend

I lie in bed dreaming sweet dreams
Smooth sheets caress my body
Curled up with the one I love
You gently call my name
Whispering sweet nothings in my ear
Singing me the sweetest song
I turn over and I reach out for you
Don’t you just hate it when the radio alarm clock goes off?

There's a little boy in Africa
Whose life is on the line
He's been stealing from the vendors
and re-selling for a dime
Angry people yell and threaten
As he tries to make them see
The reason for his stealing
Is to feed his family
There's a little girl in Haiti
Whose life is on the line
She's been abandoned by her family
And she's running out of time
Her hair is turning orange
And her belly's big and round
A little girl in pain and fear
Just waiting to be found
Do we feel the pang of hunger?
Do we try to understand
The difference that our love could make
If we'd reach out our hand?
To bring a cup of water
And a smile in Jesus' name
Do we see our love could change them
So they'll never be the same?
There's a little girl in Mexico
Whose life is on the line
Those men who took her from her home
Are no longer being kind
The horrors that she must endure
Each night at their command
She feels ashamed and lonely
And prays for her life to end
Do we see the tears and heartache?
Do we try to understand
The difference that our love could make
If we'd reach out our hand?
To search out the lives forgotten
And help pull them through the pain
To offer love and healing
So they'll never be the same
I choose to see the heartache
I choose to see the pain
I choose to give of my life
So they'll never be the same
Soft spoken like Charmin
The earth is down to you
You'd sacrifice the clothes off your body
in a winter storm
Forever putting yourself out of the photo
Loyal to snakes
Spearhead in your spine
future bright as a lit billboard at 2 a.m.
all for $2000
Now you live among rapists, murderers
talking only within
Came out of the closet to me
and strictly me
Regret fills lungs like butterflies
My oldest friend
Dreamt of being a pioneer
We sucked ideas from each others brain
World conquerors together
Helped Mrs. Stalworth with 1000 groceries
Taught the slow boy to double knot
This is not your destiny
You befriended me when I was fresh meat
Orchestrating fundraisers in our minuscule community
Catching game winning TD’s
Unstoppable on the field
Nicknamed sticky hands on the gridiron
Now off it too
What changed, pal?
Times get rocky
you taught me that
Why can’t you take your own advice?
Frustration boils like magma
Secrets deteriorate a person
like battery acid
Why didn't you confide in me?
Heroin destroys like tornados
My heart full of glass and impotence
I could have helped you, brother
I'm sorry I let you fall
off that never ending cliff
As writers we all seek true satisfaction
To know our words are more than just a passing distraction
To reach this elusive goal we must set a few things aside
Like our ego, our self focus and our false sense of pride
To write is to express feelings that would otherwise be lost
But to read others works is to learn, be it an unknown or a Robert Frost
So write-on by all means but take the time to also read and take note
For other writers are also unsuspecting teachers so don't miss the boat
Reach out your hand, and make a friend,
Reach out a hand, don't be afraid,
Reach out a hand, save a life,
Reach out your arms, embrace in a hug.
Reach out to me, receive a smile back,
Feel with your eyes, love with your heart,
Reach out with a laugh, receive a pat on the back.
We are all here together, living, laughing, crying, feeling,
We all have something wonderful inside our heart, soul,
We just are afraid to "let go, to fall backwards, not being caught",
Isn't that what friends, family, are here to do for us?
Let's gather around OUR circle of love, and open our hearts,
Reach out your hand, feel the energy inside, we are all a gift of healing...
You will find God when you seek
him with all of your heart.
Getting on your knees in prayer
is a good place to start!
Remember... A double-minded man is
unstable in his ways.
He has no true direction in
life when he prays.
Draw near to God and he'll
draw near to you.
His word will be your guide
in all that you do.
Hunger for his righteousness...
and be filled!
Drawing close to Jesus is
what God has willed!
He desires an intimate love...
more than words can say!
Come to him now... with no more delay!
Trust him with all of your heart...
not your own understanding.
In everything...acknowledge him...
and heed his commanding!
Obey his command to serve with
body, sould and mind.
Everlasting peace and love you will surely find!
His desire for you to know and
love him is never ending.
Come to him now... please...
no more "pretending."
Reach out today... and call on his
wonderful name!
His love for you is forever
and will never change!
Allow him to bring joy to your
heart and pure delight!
Please come to him now.. why not tonight?

In church... One of the
enemy's tricks...
Is to get everyone forming
their own "cliques."
People "choosing" who'll they
accept as a sister or brother.
Negecting the commandment
to love one another.
A stranger coming to this
church has a dificult time.
Trying to find anybody who'll
give him some of their time.
There may be a needy person
coming through the door.
He'll soon think; "what in the world
did I come here for?
CHURCH! Have you forgotten
what being a Christian is?
We're God's children.
His ambassador! We are HIS!
Don't just "love" people of
your own choosing.
In the end... It's you that
will be losing.
It's time that we reach
everyone in Jesus' name!
Knowing that it was for all of
mankind our savior came!

Reach out
As I Watch Your Peaceful Sleep
The Memories Stand Clear
Of All the Things We've Had
Each and Every Year
You Were Always There for Me
And Loved Me with All You Had
That Is What I Lost Sight of
....I Find it Tragic and Very Sad
I Turned Away from You
Blinded by My Own Choice
I Didn't See or Feel Your Needs
Or Listen to the Love in Your Voice
Now I've Come Crawling Back,
Heartbroken and Torn with Despair
You've Loved Me and Forgiven Me
And Your Love for Me Still There
You Hold out Your Hand
And You Offer Me Your Heart
All I Need to Do Is Just Reach out
For Us to Make Another Start
Connie Moore
Before you take leave of a treasured friend,
Treat the parting moment, as though 'tis Life's end.
Then express the Love you have in your heart.
Tell them how much you care, before you part.
So speak - Reach out and touch (someone).
For Fate might determine you'll not meet again,
And your unspoken words cause needless pain.
Then later as you travel along your chosen way,
You'll recall the empty words 'you meant to say'
So speak - Reach out and touch (someone).
Although it is said, 'silence is as Gold'
Its value pales against thoughts sincerely told!
Fond emotions suppressed, will light no fire,
But those same feelings declared, can spark desire.
So speak - Reach out and touch (someone).
Tender thoughts, once spoken, will endure forever.
While silence at parting, means they’re lost forever.
How many times have we lost moments such as this,
Because, to speak our true feelings, we were remiss.
So before it's too late - Reach out and touch (someone).

On Friday night whilst I, in boredom, was channel hopping,
through lots of rubbishy programmes, including shopping.
I regret to admit that I found me,
reached out to and touched by satellite, God TV,
Lots of pop singers and glamour there,
and a message for all the lost young kids to share,
oh it's so good to be good, and how they really, really care.
Then came the request to every person who feels they can,
to give as much money as possible, to help their fellow man.
Now call me cynical, but questions do arise,
who actually gets the cash, and would it be wise,
for me to simply shrink the size,
of my bank account, to give it to,
someone who preaches one thing, but who,
is really in it for their own gain?
Leaving those in need to retain their pain.
Smiley, smiley, yes indeed, we are true believers of our creed,
no other people have ever been so truly freed,
can't you see that clearly all other beliefs are wrong?
That we are oh so right, and we are also very strong.
So follow us and sing out loud for the salvation of your soul,
join us on our journey, and we will mend the hole,
in your life that you really need to have filled.
before any hope within you ends up being killed!
It would be nice to believe they do it solely for the cause,
but unfortunately, my time on Earth, makes me take a pause
to weigh up all the pros and cons of each and every offer,
especially those supposedly from God which the keys to Heaven proffer.
I only know that if there is a God he or she lives in everyone,
and that he or she never existed before human consciousness came along.
mixed emotions and confused thoughts
ripple through my soul
