I am reminded of a girl who once prayed for me

She use the word uplift.  Lift her up, Lord!

And that’s what I needed. Don’t we all?

To be lifted UP

                     and not let down

Unless we must receive some sad news that only the one who lifts us up could impart charitably.

These are the ones, The Charitable Ones, who know how to gently

             place

                         us

                                down

        Feet first

   On level ground

And wait…      with us

Until the time for lifting has come again.
