Monolog

So, what is wrong with you?

Here she is,  sitting on the ground.
She is tired and dirty and has no legs.

“I need your help.  Please listen to me, okay?”
“Sure.  I’m listening.”

The river is too wide.  I can’t get over it.  I need your help.

“It’s simple.  All you have to do is get up and walk over.
It’s as simple as that.”
“But I can’t. I don’t have any legs.  I can’t get up and walk over.
Don’t you see?  I need your help.”

“Look.  All you have to do is get up and walk over.  God bless you!
Be whole and strong.”

Nothing changes.
I keep telling them but they cannot see
They just talk louder and smile harder
