Shàn in Abundance
I know a woman in Beijing who cares.
She cares for cats. She rescues them the way
The Buddha might. She takes them in and shares
Her tiny income with them. People flay
And eat them in the south of China. She
Protects abandoned cats. When I heard of
This, I requested one. She brought me three.
This lady practices the kind of love
We call compassion—and charity. I
Was shamed and thrilled that she had brought me more.
She brought me three and tripled love. How sly.
I only wish that she had brought me four.
..I should have asked for five or six. I wish
…..That I had fed six rescued creatures fish.
very sweet
I didn’t know you had sent this. Thanks.
