SUFFICIENCY
As if it knew there is no end
To its supply, the daisy throws
A quilt upon the meadow land
As white and vast as winter’s snows.
It quite ignores the fact this field
Is seen by few from dawn to night–
Content if but one passerby
Is gladdened by this lovely sight.
Love, too, can draw on endless stores
And, though it walk a path apart,
Still counts it as a victory
If it can touch one lonely heart. Marie Daerr Boehringer, Evangel, St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, Saratoga, CA.
