(Too disabled to meet a schedule, this poet was heartbroken not to be able to contribute to her society even by volunteer work.

With the invention of the mobile public platform editing app just a few years ago, she was liberated to offer something at last ~ and it happens to be her finest contribution.

This was written then)

Something Worthy

I’ve found something I can do
To make other people smile
To ease somebody else’s burden
For a little while

For there have been those times when I
Was staggering in pain
When someone lifted mine till I
Was back in shape again

But never have I seemed to find
The talent, skill, the knack
Successfully to manage
To give something back

Now I hope I might have found
On this needful Earth
Something I am good for
Something I am worth
