I NEED YOU!
by Tesse Wilson I NEED YOU! I used to ask and sometimes still do Why do some people laugh at me? Why do some people look away when they see me? As a child I wondered why the other children don't play with me Why can't I speak like everyone else? Why is my posture so bent and body twisted? One day I heard some folks making remarks as I passed by slowly They were talking about my deformity Years have passed but still Some look at me in pity Others joke about me I protest It's not my fault I was born this way I refuse to despise myself I was born Needing help from others Needing patience Needing to be tend to as a child when I am an adult Needing a smile, an encouraging word, a hug (this we have in common) Needing to feel like I belong Yes I need you To help me cross the street To give me something to eat Even to give me a bath Many are afraid to touch me Afraid they would injure me Please just get to know me Then there are those who are so rough and abusive Lacking sensitivity That's when I need you to protect me I am disabled physically But I am able to love When I can't say it my eyes and my smile will reveal it When my eyes cannot show it, my touch will demonstrate it When I am unable to open my eyes, or lack the strength to smile and touch Then observe me closely and you will sense it I am ABLE to love God made me I am human I have ability Treat me with dignity Show me compassion not pity Heavenly Father I thank you for all those who take care and show love and patience to everyone with a disability. Father touch hearts, dry tears, bring comfort to those who feel alone and rejected. Send help quickly. I ask in Jesus name. Tesse Wilson All good gifts come from the Lord.
