A description of real life in poetic form.
How many times do we need that 'Helping Hand.'
Very inspirational.

Thank you for creating such a moving poem. You describe the lot of all mankind when life's burdens get heavy and hard to bear. You have beautifully described the solution to the problem...... to seek and receive Heaven's help. Knowing from personal experience that God is there to help us when we are weary, and your sharing this witness, is a real blessing to all of us. I love your picture of a child's hand in His, is very touching, as He always tells us to think and be like a little child, and be humble and receptive to his word. When He whispers, it tells us He is there for us... always. Good luck in the contest.

Annie - thank you for this inspirational piece.
How often in life does this seem true?

My load seems too heavy. How long can I bear
The heartache, the suffering, and pain?
Life isn't worth living. The sunshine is gone.
My tears fall. I stand in the rain.

And a lovely prayer to end with. Good luck in the competition.

It is something that we all go through and the experience remains with us forever.
Hopeless person can come out of the web if the need to rise is felt and surely there will be hands to support us.
You have nicely shared your thoughts here.
I enjoyed reading it.:)

'When I Fail.' Despair is akin to anxiety, and is a very sad condition which should be fixed sooner rather than later, for it can cause immeasurable damage. Well done.
