Helping hand

Reaching out,
Reaching to those who we think
Feel the need to help

Hand outstretched seeking something in our time of need
Hanging in the air as the moment just seems to never end
The hope that we will be given what we seek

Images of times gone by come to our mind
What we have given without question
Now in time we need, we seek to find

Silence still hangs between us and those we need
But still, we wait and time continues to leave
When does the help come
