after


glutted on chocolate,
   may I remember those
   who are still hungry;
as the rose petals
begin to wilt,
   may I offer a bouquet
   of hope to those I meet;
as the cards and envelopes
are recycled or put in a drawer,
   may I drop a note
   to a lonely friend;
as the world turns its attention
to the next big holiday,
   may I never forget
   to keep loving.
