Sharing

In my time

there is no time

for doling out defeat, 

nor doing harm

where care should shine

and acts of kind repeat.

On our journey

we learn to crawl

and soon take steps to walk

learning along the way

not all as we see

much more behind the talk.

Scenes of sorrow

everyday pain

revealed in rhythmic step

no change not healed

festering ooze pus sore

now septic for sure inept.

Is there a way,

can we lessen the grief

include the other

sign on together

adopt a creed

to share sister and brother.
