I wanted to find a reason
to explore all options.
I listened to the speaker layout
a plan to help everyone.
I heard when people described
selfless actions.
I walked home curious and sad
wondering how to give.
I wondered whether or not my
giving was to satisfy me
or you – is there a place where we
can recall the reason to begin.
I wonder about time, their reaction,
and then I come to terms with hope.
