The Hand of Love

 The Hand of Love


A perilous path

He’s walked it himself

He knows the pitfalls

He’s fallen himself

He’s picked himself up 

He’s continued on

Close to the edge

The edge of the cliff

He knows the way

He understands what befalls

He can lead

Lead others

The young, the challenged

The inexperienced

Surrounded on the path by naysayers

Jeering, sneering,

Threatening to push them off

He leads with understanding

He leads with compassion

He offers a hand

Through the crowd of naysayers

The hand of hope

His hand is grasped

Grasped firmly

Grasped with new confidence

For the hand is love

Nothing can defeat it

The hand of love
