Care

To care for
Another is to
Transcend our
Killer beast within
Making true the human
Dream of the possibility that
Education formal or informal may
Allow us to improve share grow
As a person by caring about
Another putting their needs
Over our own wants as
Gratification delayed
Magnifies the love
Flowing to us not
Metered by any
False illusion,
Perfection
Is from
Within
Not from
Our appearance,
But quite the contrary.
Caring for other sentient
Beings human canine feline
Or who knows what is the
Single best measure of
Our humanity and will
Transcend our small
Time here on earth
As symmetry is
Universal just
Look up at
The Milky
Way
Then go
Inside unplug
The heater crawl
Into bed under covers
And sleep assured
You are cared
For as well.
Take care
To care.
