May We Never Tire

Writer: Theresa BaxterTheresa Baxter


May we never tire of lending hand

If so? Then try again

Become that thing called firebrand

One of many links in chain


There need not be a great disaster

Or soft pitiful pleading 

No skill it takes to even master

Attend to someone’s needing


For if we indulge our worst impulse

To rate only our well-being

All come second to other’s first

What hungry beast we’re freeing


A dozen palms, each day upturned

Unearned a place at table

Instead, in ours, be taken up

And loved as best we’re able…
