A helping hand, Strong and true, Safe keeping, Carrying me through. In times of trouble, Times of need, Lost within a tidal wave, Terrible frustrations, Senseless greed. A fluttering of hope, Caressing, cleansing, Wearing thin Long held aches, pains, A soul, mending. Gratification sores, A bird on the wing, A child’s laughter, As harmony sings. A safe harbor, A place, pure and new, A soft landing, A repeated welcome, A place for me, from you. |

I know I have not written in a while, and for that, I have no excuse. I find I have missed this site and now I am back. This poem is about a woman who took me in when I moved to another state. She has been very helpful to me. I am greatful for all that she has done for me. This poem is for her. I gave it to her on Mother's Day. |

Thank you everyone. She is definitely all of those things. "You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you." James Lane Allen |
