Plea for Help!

The sky is clear, almost without haze

Which is nice and unusual here in Kansas

It is steamy hot once more and little breeze

Just a slight wisp of air once in a while

Stirs a bird into a brief song

It is a nice day to dream

I dream of being able to find work

I dream of being useful, productive

I dream of a place where I can contribute

And be accepted for who I am without fear-

Of being rejected, shunned and disliked

It is a special dream which I have almost forgotten.

Today it is back and my hope springs alive again

I see myself earning a living and enjoying it

I see myself loving others and being loved

I see myself giving and receiving

I accept who I am and I allow myself hope

Today I want to believe this dream.

Something tangible must happen to allow

This dream to have the chance to come true

Anything will do, but I need something

A sign of anykind, I am looking Lord

Trying so very hard not to give up

The need is so great for something to happen

Something good that is!
