You hold out a hand of friendship <br />to everyone you meet. <br />Sometimes it is taken <br />sometimes it is not. <br /> <br />The ones that refuse never know <br />what they might miss. <br />If that outstretched hand, <br />may have belonged to an Angel waiting there. <br /> <br />Someone who would have helped <br />unburden some of their load. <br />So the next time someone puts out a hand of friendship, <br />grasp it readily. <br />For you will never know if the stranger is really an Angel there. <br /> <br /> <br />(18 June 2007)<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hand-of-friendship/
