'Not Enough' Poem by Bryan Cobaris

written by Bryan Cobaris
Inspired by The Holy Spirit

A studio apartment may leave you desiring expansion
But to a homeless person, it would seem like a mansion.
A pat on the back from the boss can seem condescending
But at a funeral it starts a heart to mending.

That horrible job that you work may stress your last nerve
But there are unemployment offices filled with those willing to serve.
At times there are some parents who wish their kids would leave them alone
Try telling that to the couple that can’t have a child of their own.

Some days you may look in the mirror and hate what you see
But there are some in your life that feel that you’re the person they want to be.
Life is hard at times. It takes its toll. It can be rough.
But can we look at those less fortunate and honestly say: I don’t have enough?
