CARE

There is no hope if no one cares
for then all love is lost
For when a single child despairs,
it’s too late to count the cost.
One, who saves a single life,
saves the future of the world
For in the stamen of a rose
all human kind is curled.
It is not required that folk should die
for other folk to live,
Nor for one to sacrifice social life
giving more than they can give.
