Can a hand outstretched be trusted... <br />Can we without fear accept a smile... <br />Is all as it should be <br />Or should we be cautios all the while? <br /> <br />It takes nothing to offer a handshake, <br />Nothing to present a false face... <br />Though they may have the look and gestures of an angel, <br />Does not mean they possess their grace. <br /> <br />Such is the way of humanity <br />To times end from when it began, <br />Live the life the Lord wishes you to <br />And be wary of your fellow man.<br /><br />Tomás Ó Cárthaigh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/can-a-hand-outstretched-be-trusted/
