She Sees The Gap

She Sees The Gap

The Disparity
The Difference
The Widening
The Rich
The Poor

That is why she does what she does
Giving what she can
Her all – even when you do not notice

Times are changing
She has so much to do
To show the world that there is a better way

Why?
When we know so much
When we have so much
When we can do so much

Is this Gap becoming a chasm?
A hole for some
A parapet for others

She cannot become complacent
She cannot allow the apathy to seep into her bones
She cannot stand by and watch whilst the world splits
Segregates those that have and those that have not
Deeper, wider, greater, more

She was given hardship to know empathy
She was given strength to lead the way
She was given hope as infinite comfort
She has all she needs to start today

She committed to her greater purpose
She committed to give all she could
She committed to the bigger picture
Even when misunderstood

She built a staircase to help others
From where they are, from what they have
She knows that needs do change as climbing
She gently helps you fill your cup

For cups they come in different sizes
For cups they come with different needs
But all cups have immortal value
She fills them with their unique seeds

For if each one can sow and gather
All they need with some to spare
Then each one can pour love a little
More to give and more to share

So don’t give up and don’t give in
Don’t beat yourself with a splintered stick
We all need strength to steer the future
Disable greed with more to give

If we all work to make ourselves
Happy, safe and beauty filled
Then join our hands in loving, kindness
To fill the gap and over spill
