An Outstretched Hand
for Jay Allen
by Rod McKuen
Each of us was made by God and some of us grew tall. Others stood out in the wind their branches bent and fell. Those of us who walk in light must help the ones in darkness up. For that’s what life is all about and live is all there is to life.
Each of us was made by God beautiful in His mind’s eye. Those of us that turned out sound should look across our shoulders once and help the weak ones to their feet.
It only takes an outstretched hand.
