Help When You Can

by Lexi Hilife - Leo

Water levels rose when you left  My heart wanted to be sure  You would stay afloat and not run aground in the shallows of humanity that don't understand the treachorousness of your journey  I wanted the craft of my prayers to carry you to your dreams  I think I cried enough to make waves  Hang on little brothers stay dry and keep warm  My husband took one look at me and asked me if I needed a hug  Poutingly I looked in his eyes and shook my head and said yes  He accused me of being to big hearted  If your going to be big with your heart you must be prepared to handle the load he said  I don't see that I have a choice  I have carried the weight of homelessness, hunger, and all the countless insecurities that accompany the condition  I've been there myself  When our paths crossed I learned of your plight  In this weather I would never let you sleep under the brige ill equiped for the night  If there was any way I could help it from coming down then that is what I will do   Lexi Hilife

Reason for writing:

    This is a true story of two wonderful brothers that were having bad times, that became great friends and I wish them the very best.
