Lent-Day 15

How do you help the ones

that don't want your help?

You can try to give so much of yourself

for naught.

Because try as you might some

just want to be forgot.

But I refuse to let that happen

I want to reach across the chasm

that divides us

whatever it may be

I want to reach out with integrity

find our common humanity.

I'll admit.

Sometimes it may be hard for me to relate

at times I've been more than content to

skate by with my privilege by birth

brought into a place on earth

where I was appreciated

built up

lauded and

applauded.

And not everyone experiences that.

So while you may not want my help

I have to try

and maybe we'll never be able to tell if

I made a difference

but everyone deserves to be loved simply

for their very existence.
