When I Am Weak There are many times when I am weak My poor legs can no longer endure I start to fall I search for something to hold on to and usually I find something to lean on until I am no longer weak But there are times when there is nothing for me to grab on to I feel lost I continue to fall But then I see you You extend your arm and uncurl your fingers You reach out to me and give me support You help me become strong again Copyright Janet Kuypers.
