A little brown spider
Dropped in for a drink
And then found he couldn’t
Get out of the sink.
I watched as he slithered
And tried to climb
But he slipped back down
Every time.
I wanted to help him
So looked around
I wondered if something
Could be found.
I saw some string
Dangled it in
Watched as the spider
Began to cling
Then clambered to the top.
That little brown spider
Has made me think
If I am standing on the brink
I need to throw a lifeline so
Those who are struggling down below
Can climb back to the top.
