Reaching Out

by Karen

I tried to reach out, but you drew away.

How can I help, what can I say.

I tried to find you, but you put up the wall,

then, I tried to stand back and assess it all.

How do I reach you, how can I care.

How can I find you when you're not willing to share.

Without each other how can we survive.

Being alone, is merely being alive.

What will it take to make you whole.

What will shed light and joy into your soul.

Reach out to someone, let them show you the way.

Allow yourself the joy of finding a new day.

For you are worthy of good things in your life,

turning away from the pain and the strife.

Take the hand of someone you trust.

Do this for you, for your family, you must.

You deserve to be happy, you deserve to find joy.

Don't succumb to another's deceptive ploy.

Walk tall, knowing deep in your heart,

that by reaching out, you are thinking smart.

Joy will find you, allow it to come.

For when you do...wholeness and you 

will have become one.
