This Much - Marti Watterman

[Larry Robinson]

This Much
 
This much wine could leave me drunk.
This much milk could
feed an infant for a day.
This much water could save a man’s life.
This much seed could feed a farmer in need.
This much warmth could stave off winter’s cold.
This much shade could keep a migrant alive 
This much quiet could be the beginning of peace.
It wouldn’t take much.
We could do so much,
with only this much,
only this much.
With only this much
we could save the world,
if only we would.
