Outstretched Hand

Just when it seems our goals are within reach, they slip away, like a hand never reached.

 

Outstretched Hand

I reached out,

For the outstretched hand,

Only to slip away,

Farther,

And farther,

Till it seemed hopeless,

To reach,

To stretch,

To grasp,

The outstretched hand,

Our fingers skim,

I can feel the heat,

Only to slip away,

Farther,

And father,

From the outstretched hand.
