Gathering Up Crumbs
February 5th, 2009 Posted in humanity
Be careful with the crumbs.
Do not overlook them.
Be careful with the crumbs;
the little chances to love,
the tiny gestures, the morsels
that feed, the minims.
Take care of the crumbs;
a look, a laugh, a smile,
a teardrop, an open hand. Take care
of the crumbs. They are food also.
Do not let them fall.
Gather them. Cherish them.
