When You Lose Your Job

When you lose your job,
You feel all alone--
You're humiliated,
And don't want it known.

You feel like everyone
Is talking about what happened to you.
Some may be--
Others have better things to do.

You've worked somewhere
A long time, and done a good job.
Then they merge or have cutbacks,
Your job is eliminated-your livelihood robbed.

You may get letters of recommendation
To send out with your resumes,
You may get tentative responses,
Or be rejected after a few days.

You don't have enough experience
Or schooling for this or that--
You can get the run around
And you're self-esteem knocked flat.

Just pray to God
To help you find a way,
You're a work in progress
He'll bring you a better day.
