how to be a saint
who you are
and what you do
make you a saint
If people are sick
bring home-cooked meals to them,
do their work for them,
even though you’ve worked all day yourself
If people fall on hard times
make anything yours theirs
If they need a drink of something strong,
or a long hour of listening, be there
the dirt and blisters
on your hands
the sweat
across your forehead
the prayers
deep in the night
the smiles
in the early morning
make you the who and what
of love
