No time for sabbath,
If one child cries out for food,
there is a mission

Poignant, to say the very least, Ric. Thanks for this compassionate piece.

Your point is extremely well taken.

This is so compassionate. It is very difficult to take time to rest from important work-- but it is necessary. I work as a disability advocate and can really empathize with this haiku.

Amen. I hope you can find a way to share this and the one below with Harry Chapin and his organization. They are both powerful poems, each in it's own unique way.
