Immobilized

I wiped away the tears of a crying Child Yesterday And felt as though I were wiping My own But couldn’t dry them Couldn’t dry Them As hard as I tried A neighbor knocked on my Door Today Asked me if I would move My car And felt as though I were spinning My wheels Because I couldn’t drive it Couldn’t Drive As hard as I tried Please Let me step Forward But know I can’t go Any farther Please Let me step Backward But know I might trip Fall over Please Let me step Sideways But know I Hurt With Every Inch Please Let me step Let me step Any way I can
