I once read that the most common movie line is, "Let's get outta here." That describes exactly how I felt a few weeks ago as I sat in the lounge chair in my backyard. I was suddenly overcome with restlessness. But I didn't have the option to "get outta here." As most readers know, I'm mostly housebound due to chronic illness.
If you could walk in my shoes, You would see, I paid my dues, I worked hard my whole life through, Even though, I no longer do.
You would see how hard I tried. You would see how hard I cried. Can't you see my condition is real, Even though you can't see what I feel. Your support could lift me up. That would be amazing luck. My disability; you can't see, But I need you to believe in me.
Trust me when I say, A friend could make my day. Please lend a helping hand, With your support, I can stand. A little goes along way. A good friend won't turn away. A little kind word can lift my soul. A little kind word can make me whole.
