So She Slipped

SO SHE SLIPPED
So she slipped
                        And she fell ,
So she slipped
                     And she bled and broke
So she slipped
                        And she cried
So she slipped 
                        And she broke down in pain
so she slipped 
                         and she fell and she bled, broke,cried  and broke down in pain

So she slipped 
                          but with your help she can rise
So she slipped 
                        but with your strength  she can stand
So she slipped
                        but if you reach out to her she can stand
So she slipped 
                        but  with your help she can rise with your strength she can stand and
                         if to her you reach out… she can stand

So she slipped
                        yes she did but today it is her..
So she slipped 
                        but tomorrow you may too
So she slipped 
                         but don’t give her lip service
So she slipped 
                         reach out lift her up 
So she slipped
                        do not point and laugh. clumsy so you say 
So she slipped
                         but  have a care, help her up.
So she slipped 
                         yes she did. but today its her, tomorrow you may too,
                         don’t give her lip service, reach out lift her up,
                         and pray do not point and laugh ,clumsy you may say,
                          but have a care and help her up

Energy is always reflected in whatever metamorphical form. Only if our conscience is awake all the time!
