After being here for others I sat down and realised that I also need what I'm giving, so sat on the bench where I wrote 'Little white Feather' i came up with this one.


Reach Out

Those that reach out
When someone is in need
May also want help
And another’s good deed

As the part that was broken
Isn’t easy to mend
Trying to even the balance
In messages you send

For its calming to both
To know there is another there
In the same frame of mind
With their troubles to share

But the help can get hard
As other things come along
Which build on the troubles
Like memories from a song

So you might think I sit here
Just writing this for me
But others can relate
To these words that set me free.
