Take My Hand

With the helplessness of a sailor who, in the heat of battle,
Watches as his sister ship steadily sinks,
In the same way,
I see you take the hits of what life has fired at you.
I watch you drift in hopelessness
And must look away as you roll over and sink into despair.

I cast long ropes of hope
Into the grinding sea of circumstances.
Churned around,
Catch hold, my love,
Catch hold…
