Questions I Must Answer Poem by Gregory Huyette

At the end of the day questions I must ask;
Did I give my all, no matter the task?
Were my efforts focused on others I see
Or selfishly directed toward what’s good for me?

Were my actions as spirited as an exciting story,
Renewing hope for the aimless and dilatory?
Did my attitude reflect understanding of the world
Or oppose differences with epithets easily hurled?

Did I speak then listen to what others had to say
To sense their needs and respect their way?
Each morning I’ll reenergize another start
From answers to such questions I must do my part!
