An Outstretched Hand

I decided I have way too much stuff in my house so I have been going through boxes, drawers and closets and weeding out the junk. I ran across this poem written on the back of an envelope. It hung on the bulletin board in my office until I retired. I thought I would like to frame it so I added a few elements. The paper is from Weeds and Wild Flowers. The font is blackchancery.
