if not now?

i have my daily
bread––
others don’t.

i have freedom––
others don’t.

i have wealth
for what I need––
others don’t.

i have loved ones
near––
others don’t.

& a job & a name
in the world––
others don’t.

when so many
are suffering &
the world is bleeding––

to give is
not enough––

to pray is
not enough––

to give thanks is
not enough.

the heart
the soul
the will
know

what to
do.

& peace will
sometime
come.
