My State

I rest my dear little head
Onto the rough, hard pavement bed.
I cannot seem to find the sleep
There's so much a reason to weep.
Hatred, hunger, faith, fear
Nothing's the least bit clear.
Why am i in this filthy state
No bed and nothing on the plate.

This is a very sorry state to be in! God answers prayer. Have you tried that? He will reach down and pull you up, no matter what your condition. Blessings, Darlene
