LET ME AID


Let me sit by the side of the road.

Let me watch the world go by.

Let me give you a hand with your load.

There is little else for such as I.

Let me listen to your story or complaint.

Let empathy be my contribution.

I am neither Holy one nor saint.

I know nothing of retribution.

But, give me your troubles. Let me share

Your fears and your depression.

Let me help, because I care.

Let me hear your confession.

Confession, it's said, is good for the soul.

I know it is good to clear the mind.

And I know of no better goal

Than to be an aid to humankind.

Trinka Powers - copr. 1989
