Strength
Everybody needs help sometimes
But not me she said
I need no one to carry me
I am strong enough to walk or run
Through anything I face
But are you strong enough I asked
To show the courage to reach out
During your times of doubt
Let someone’s hand be placed in yours
To help pull you back to even
When you fall behind
I know that deep within our minds
The only thing weaker
Than asking for ones help
Is admitting we need help at all
But those are just foolish thoughts
Placed by people who have never
Learned what it is to care
There is no weakness
In our need to share
In everybody’s life at times
Our emotions lie bare
All dragged out and spent
It’s only the strong among us
Who reach out to take an offered hand
There to help pull us back up
To make a stronger stand
Oh yes I know so well
You can take care of yourself
But even Superman himself
Needs a helping hand
To remove his kryptonite
To regain the strength
To do what’s right
So here my friend
Here’s my hand to help
Do you have the strength…
