"
This needed saying...
"Comes A Time..."
We tell ourselves
- we know,
we understand,
but ...is always a but
...always...
but ...we can't do for every one -
...not enough hours,
nor enough days...
ever and all the excuses
all the reasons...
but 
we have the tears,
have the heart.
have the strength of will
and the soul
...to do what we can
as we really can
at any given time
on any given day
without a shred
of selfishness or hesitation
or even a question of
what we really have
or could spare
...for a child...
in our right HERE and NOW

Comes a time
we need remember
in OUR right here and NOW
helping people is sharing our humanity
but helping children is 
growing our future.
