Extend a Hand
In shadows deep where sorrows dwell
Where silent cries and whispers tell
Of hearts that ache and spirits low
Where hope seems lost, and tears do flow
Reach out your hand, extend your grace
To lift the fallen, find their place
A simple act, a gentle touch
Can mean so much, can heal so much
In moments dark, when all seems lost
When life's harsh winds have tempest-tossed
Be the light, the guiding star
To show them they are loved, by far
A smile, a word, a listening ear
Can chase away the deepest fear
In giving, we receive so much
In helping, we find our own touch
When burdens weigh and spirits break
When life's cruel trials make hearts ache
Be the strength, the shoulder strong
To help them find where they belong
For in this world, we all must share
The weight of life, the love, the care
Together, we can rise above
With hands held tight in boundless love
So, when you see a soul in need
Do not ignore, do not mislead
Extend your hand, your heart, your time
And help them up, help them climb
For in this life, we all must learn
To give, to love, to take our turn
In helping others, we find our way
To brighter nights and better days
