The buck outside my window,
Demanding to be fed;
The cats rubbing against my legs
As I walk into the kitchen;
The rhododendron leaves that droop,
Requesting to be watered —
All small reminders of the larger problems
In the world that I can’t fix;
The daily stream of news that breaks my heart.
And so I do my best
To care for those for whom I can
Make a difference, knowing all the while
It will never be enough…
