No less than newborn babe needs soothing touch
the dying need to know familiar hand.
The feet that hardened life will test so much
the caring soften for the final stand.

No more than what was given from the heart
at last remains to comfort in old age.
The eye that sparkling overflowed with art
within the overwhelmed sees perfect stage.

When all the chains society sets fast
are broken by lost time and circumstance,
the wonders of the future and the past
remain secure in sure artistic glance.

The times we reached to others in their need
at last are all we have our souls to feed.
