ALOE PSALM

ALOE PSALM

All neatly poised in readiness –
Compassion’s steady length –
Emergency preparedness
For giving aid, help, strength.

All packed in tidy implements
Of succor, service, care –
The increments of soothing salve –
Of healing and repair.

All stored for quick recovery –
Support, relief, and cure –
The convalescent instruments
Reliable and sure.
