Hold On, Reach Out

Hold on
     to the good
     with the strong

Reach out
     with both hands
     filled with love

Hold on
     to the true
     to hope

Reach out
     to the needy
     to the battered

Hold on
     with everything you have
     with everyone you love

Reach out
     with everything you can
     with all that you are

Hold on
     to love

Reach out
     to love

Hold on
Reach out

Hold on

What a lovely poem, Jemi, and much-needed right now! Thanks for starting my Monday off on a better foot.

That's beautiful - and so true. Without the reaching out, holding on is meaningless.

A beautiful message, Jemi. We so often forget the reaching out part, and it's so important.

It's words like these that will help us get through the next few years of this crazy world.

It is definitely a little nutty out there!
