Grand Life

Life could sometimes be grand

Like the moon in the pool

You might trap in your palm,

You could rise if you stoop.

A friend may be waiting

At the lip of the cliff,

And the burden you bear

Just might be a bear hug

From somebody who cares

And dares to pick you up.

Life may give the answer

To questions you may have

And the puzzle may solve

Itself and give you pause.

But you will always have

A hand to hold your hand.
