POEM FOR THE DAY



"Is There Anyone?"

(�You are wonderful, and while everyone watches, you store up blessings

for all who

honor and trust you.� Psalm 31:19)



-Mark Phillips



What time am I worth?



My feet snag every exposed

root

snaking the trail.

I kick up dust for those behind me and the gritty

gravel sandpapers their wounds.



Is there a prize at the end of this road,

even a rainbow to grace the horizon?

Is there anyone with sense enough to

deliver the gold with

pockets full of threadbare?



Is there anyone left who will beautify

the ugly,

do good to

the evil,

love the

hateful,

bless the

cursing,

swallow the poison

and spit it harmlessly along the trail?



Is there anyone?
