Lent: Light

Sleep is no comfort to the well-rested,
Water brings no relief to those who are not thirsty.
Food has no use for the well-fed,
And more light is wasted on those who live in the sun.

Do not begrudge the weary a moment of sleep.
Give a drink and more to those who are parched.
Give your bread to the hungry, and your meat too.
And light a match in the darkest places.
