Help

(a poem from several years ago)

When did things
Get so complicated
When did we all
Leave one another behind
The roads we travel
Go different ways
When did things
Suddenly change

I look around
God grips my heart
Charging me
With a pain
A pain that burns
My heart and soul
I pray for them
And ask God what to do

Help them
But how
Love them
That's all you can do
Reach out to them
Show them you care
Like times past
And forgotten
