"Dare to be a Dorcas"?
words we never sang,
and yet...
as hard a task is done
by those who give
their lives to care
for every other one.
Dare to see the Dorcas
or the Daniel
over there.
The light has flickered,
almost gone -
and I’ve been asked to care...
to summon
what I do not know,
respecting
what I cannot see,
to let the hidden person
bound and weathered
be set free.
