However Much: A sonnet remembering a loss

By Robert Stone, 18 March 2022
However much we know much more awaits
our questioning and if we do not ask,
we risk the coming doom that separates
all answering from silent final mask,

However much we love we should love more
for we gain more the more we give away,
and lose when we see needs we then ignore
or barely meet and claim we did obey.

However much we do we could do more
for every small encouraging thing counts
and any kindness will increase our score
as tallying each goodness total mounts.

If we delay there is no making up,
our deeds undone lead to a bitter cup.
