Sometimes

When you are down and out.

And out and about,

Sometimes all it takes is a single push.

Sometimes all it takes is a pat on the back.

When you have no one to care,

But innumerable things to share,

Sometimes all it takes is a keen ear.

Sometimes all it takes is a smiling face.

When you see all the roads closing in,

When you see only nights but not the day,

Sometimes all it takes is for someone to guide you,

Sometimes all it takes is eyes that show the way.

When situations have made you crumble,

And all you could do is grumble.

Sometimes all it takes is a hand that lifts you up.

Sometimes all it takes is a supportive shoulder.

When others' demands have left you tired,

When unpleasant happenings have transpired,

Sometimes all it takes is a rock solid support.

Sometimes all it takes is a wall to lean on.

When crying for hours has left your eyes swollen,

When all that you ever wanted seems to have been stolen,

Sometimes all that is needed are legs that would do all the running.

Sometimes all that is needed are fingers that can wipe the tears.

Sometimes not being able to think can be good,

Sometimes following the heart can be good.
