Caring

by deb y felio

There is a little more I found

scraping hard and deep

putting aside what I thought I needed

like a meal, a bath and sleep.

There is a little more I found

a scrap here and there

putting together shards and pieces

when I thought all was bare.

There is a little more I found

but I never know how long

before the supply is emptied

before everything is gone.

But as long as there’s a glimmer

of something I can do,

I will continue to offer

my caring each day for you.
