My Turn

By: Mary B. Newman

I sit around sometimes and wonder when it will be my turn:
my turn to be happy
my turn to be giddy
my turn not to cry
my turn to laugh
my turn to smile
my turn not to hurt
my turn to be cared about
my turn to be in love
my turn not to lose
my turn to be held
my turn to feel safe in someone's arms
my turn not to be disappointed
my turn to get the guy
my turn to be loved
my turn not to sit around and wonder.
