"Look at what I made!"

Little Sue exclaimed

She held up a drawing

One so fine

With greens and blues

It was worth her time

But she didn't like it

She looked down at it

And she simply said

"I don't like it."

Her mother cried and cried

But little Sue had no tears in her eyes

She said "mother, no need to cry."

"It is just a drawing."

"Yes, sue, I am aware, but you need to appreciate what you can do."

One may ask why her mother was upset,

It was because she couldn't.

You see, she had no hands.

The one and only mother that little Sue had

Was fading slowly.

Her hopes and dreams were crushed

By the black shadows that roamed in her mind

Her clothes were always torn,

Her hair was never up or brushed

Because she couldn't reach

Reach for the stars

Reach for her goals

Reach for help

Reach for someone.

Reach

Reach

Reach.
