It takes strong arms <br />to support the weight <br />of a breaking heart. <br />It takes strong shoulders <br />to comfort someone <br />with a grieving soul. <br />It takes a caring person <br />to be that strong support. <br /> <br />We walk tall throughout the world, <br />but even a mighty branch can break. <br />This is when we seek out a caring person, <br />who can be our supporting frame. <br />Someone who will stand by us <br />when all the others have gone, <br />our support in time of need. <br /> <br />You need strong arms to hug someone <br />when they feel they cannot go on. <br />You need strong shoulders for someone to cry on <br />within their hour of grief. <br />You need both of these things <br />just to be the supporting kind. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />22 February 2012<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-caring-person/
