Hand of help
<p dir="ltr">-(submission for feature of the week poem) </p>
<p dir="ltr">They say, <br />when the world is suffering<br />we need shielding <br />But what we also need <br />is soothing!</p>
<p dir="ltr">What we need the most <br />is an extended hand of help</p>
<p dir="ltr">The question isn't about <br />who is mighty- the sword or the pen? <br />Because the world need every bit<br />Of support by men and women</p>
<p dir="ltr">What we need the most <br />Is an extended hand of help</p>
<p dir="ltr">The hands of those <br />Who can help by protecting, <br />And the hands of the others <br />Who can help by supporting</p>
<p dir="ltr">We need the hands <br />Wearing <u>gloves, soaked in blood </u><br />We need the hands <br />Soaked in paint, painting a potrait</p>
<p dir="ltr">All we need, is what you have to offer <br />All we need, is an extended hand of help</p>
<p dir="ltr">Because in this battle of suffering <br />We're all trying to heal <br />And we're all healers. </p>
