Life's Duties Poem by John Sensele

Life's Duties



To help a blind person
Who stretches her hand for alms
Transmutes into an investment lesson
That blesses a giver's fairy farm.

To help a vulnerable child
Whose stomach for days suffers hunger
Transmutes into a mild
Gesture that shoves away a poverty dagger.

To wipe tears from eyes of a widow
Who mourns her departed spouse
Transmutes into a glow
That rekindles hope in her hapless house.

To comfort a jilted woman
Who wallows in the pangs of rejection
Brought about by ill-treatment from the man
She nourished depicts awesome affection.
