REACHING OUT
 

Reaching out,
in a hazy world filled with doubt,
to offer you a smile,
it is me.

Reaching out,
in a world so devoid of caring,
to offer you a hope,
it is me.

Reaching out,
when all others have hurt you,
to patch up your dreams,
I am here.

Reaching out,
to find you,
and to show you,
I'll be here.

Reaching out,
when you can no longer believe,
to show you,
life is real.

Reaching out,
through the clouds of love,
to touch you,
it is me.

Reaching out,
though you may turn,
and run further,
I'll be here.

Reaching out,
and reaching again,
my hope in you remains,
it is me.

Reaching out,
it is all we have,
to shield one another,
from further pain.

Reaching out,
when all is gone,
and all have left,
who say they care.

Reaching out,
with love and comfort,
with a sincere wish,
for your smile.

Reaching out,
comes from within,
for I know,
someone reached me.
