Improvement by Kevin Ahern
(inspired by a quote from Pope Francis)
Rivers do not
Their own water drink
The sun can’t shine
On itself, we think
Trees do not eat
The fruit that they make
And a flower’s beauty
Is not for its sake
We shine through our actions
The things that we do
Making things better
Is built into you
