Why Bother? Poem by Etienne Charilaou

Why bother to add a poem?
Why bother with that profile?
Why bother to leave home?
Why bother to smile?
Why bother to go the extra mile?
Why bother not to see black?
Why bother to go on?
Why bother to keep track?
Why bother!

So this little light may shine.
So that I might call thee mine.
So that I may see a new sight.
So that others do not take fright.
So that my duty will be done.
So that I may dwell in the sun.
So that I may be surprised.
So that all be well ordered.
So may it be!
