In this ol’
Life at times
We find we’re
Just able
To stay afloat
And tread water
Not moving
Not going
Just keeping
Our heads up
Until someone
Helps us out
By throwing
Us out a
Lifeline
Syllablic Verse
Be that someone-throw out a lifeline to somebody in need.
Leonas Lines--Poetry Plus 
How true, and how sad if that person doesn’t obey and throw out that lifeline. We all need to have our eyes and ears open and be ready to help others.
Very true Diane.
