Hold the Lantern
If you cannot be the light,
Hold the lantern.
If you cannot hold the lantern,
Bring the fuel or
Strike the match.
Serve strong tea to those
Standing in the gap.
Make the sandwiches,
Bake the bread.
Pick the apples.
Bring the tissues,
Tidy the room,
Do the dishes.
Sweep the floor.
Say hello.
Just do something
to show you care.
