I've never asked you for help before, why react with so much hate? <br />I didn't know where to turn; I was scared, needed help for goodness sake. <br />If a stranger called you, would you have turned them away? <br />Family should help family, what else can I say. <br /> <br />I've never felt so alone, never felt such distaste. <br />Never felt that my life has been such a waste. <br />Never felt so rejected, like you just didn't care, <br />Don't you call us for help ever, don't you dare...... <br /> <br />Those words echo and hurt like a twisting knife, <br />Words said from a person I’ve loved my whole life. <br />A person I looked up to, who I thought had it all, <br />A person I could count on-just give her a call. <br /> <br />We were homeless, no money, and you turned us away, <br />Slammed down the phone with only harsh words to say. <br />You didn't care what happened to us, if we had food to eat, <br />Just threw us away like an old bum on the street. <br /> <br />Asking for help was hard; rejection kills your soul, <br />Being knocked back hurts, your health takes its toll. <br />Yes, we made it, life is improving every day. <br />Thanks only to God and the angels he sent us that day. <br /> <br />Hope is renewed; God's family took us in <br />They didn't call us losers- they wanted us to win <br />We were given a home; we belong, found people who care. <br />We have a new family, God's family, found people who share.<br /><br />Sandra Finch<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rejection-and-hope/
