This is a re-write of an older poem

There are times when our lives may seem bleak;
Nothing is Green and Growing,
No ‘hope light’ that you can see.
But
Sometimes we are looking too closely,
At the specific problems we face,
Without seeing the
"Bigger Picture";
We're stuck in the 'Race'.

There is always beauty, there is always a
Brighter side;
There are always people willing
To help you,
When you need lift along your ride.

There is NO shame
In letting your needs be known,
No shame in accepting help
When it is offered, or when
Love you are shown.

We are HERE to help each other;
There is no other way to
Live in this world, without our Brothers.
Otherwise we become deadened
In our spirits; where we are lovers.

I’ve needed help in the past;
I’ve accepted help.
Now, when I can give back I will, even
If it is just a little bit to share.
The BIGGEST help of all,
Is knowing, for you
People care
