I extend my hand across the waters, to feel your warmth and sweet fragrance once more
I extend my hand across the waters, to feel your warmth and sweet fragrance once more,
To kiss your hand, to pass the burn of my lips kept from times long past,
When moments scattered and became a past that left us still dreaming,
And if I could hold you in my arms again, to feel your cheek

One thing the Lord will always do
Is extend a hand to me

He's won every battle
He has ever fought for me
With great love and compassion
I have found a place with Thee

Kidnapping Deadline Extend Horn Haiku
dilemma would be
watching MSNBC
hope they heard our plea
when message would send
kidnapping deadline extend
safely reach an end
would read on label
eat safely should be able
when food on table
when school complete
hope that they would save a seat
at a place to eat

Extend Not a Hand of Need
Better be content with your own little
Than extend a shameful hand of need
Never ever should you belittle
Your lofty soul and submit to greed

Bend, Blend, Extend and Mend My Brain
Born in the ghetto, put on my mettle
Too early in life, poverty rife
Taken long in school to settle
I appreciate graces and blessings in my life.
Fritters in a basin on my head
For me to peddle from street to street
Future uncertain, tough road ahead
I appreciate opportunities success to greet.
Tatters on my body, threadbare shoes
Basic meal bereft of

Extend a Helping Hand and Draw Back a Nub
Extend a Helping Hand and Draw Back a Nub
By Elton Camp
Terrorists are examples of people like that
They don’t want any help, but only combat
If anything reasonable you should say or do
To your woe, you will learn their colors true
It really won’t do you any good even to try
For whatever you say, they will misapply
Some evangelical

Let a Goal Extend Past the Sky, the Stars, and the Universe, and Only Then Will It Form Into a Sun.
I fly, and fly, and fly,
And let my hands extend past the sky,
I even let my hands extend past the stars, and pick them up one by one like daisies,
And Yet I still continue to let my hand extend past infinite galaxies.
I re-extend back my arms and hands to show the people,
That the stars that

I Extend
I breathe the wind of trees
The blade of grass swaying back and forth
The chlorophyll in the tiny cell
I swim the depths of seas
Collect oxygen through my slitted gills
The pennies in my wishing well
I walk along the streets
Under guise of endless hair, all shapes and colors
And guard the void within my shell
I live a life of
