Bearing load beyond your strength
to bear.
StraininS each nerve untiringly, and
still
Stumbling and losing foothold here and
there;
And each one passing by would do SO
much
AS give one upward lift and go their
way,
Would not the slight, reiterated touch
Or help and kindness tighten all the
day?
There is no little and there is no much;
We weigh and measure and define IN
vain:
look word a light, responsive touch
Can be the minister of JOY to pain,
man can die of hunger, walled in gold,
\ crumb may quicken hope to stronger
breath,
And every day we give or we withhold
