No, not the insulin, not the pills.

Have I cared for the poor today?

Prayed for peace?

Sat under the apple tree?

Loved a dog?

Let a cat sit in your lap?

Rejected the angry and the hateful?

Taken a photo?

Painted picture?

Written a song,

or sang one?

Started a blog,

Encouraged a loved one?

Or a friend?

Have you taken your medicine?

If you have not taken your medicine,

every day,

then how can I listen to your heartaches

about life?
