Endeavor
Look outward. Look beyond.
For today there are needs.
Peer left and spy right
for the needful of deeds.
One hungers. One thirsts.
One yearns to be warm.
To seek out a shelter
from the thundering storm.
Some long for the knowledge.
Some wish to be led.
away from all danger,
all nourished and fed.
The needs are all there.
The poor are forever.
So strive to look outward,
Discover. Endeavor.
