A Helping Hand

 

When I was down and out of luck
When dark the path, my life had took
When I was at my lowest low
A rope, a helping hand did throw

 

And pulled me up, out of the pit
And in the dark, a candle lit
And for my hunger gave me bread
Then quenched a thirst inside my head

This loving person helped me see
There’s so much more to this, than me
By helping me, she showed me love
And led me to the One above

And now, alone, as I reflect
I find a spot of self-respect
That had been drowning in my tears
And had not shown itself in years
