What Will You Do

What will you do
when it is time to
do the next thing?

Someone asked Mother Theresa,
“What will you do
when you are no longer
Mother General?”

She thought a second, 
smiled and said,
“I am good at
cleaning toilets, you know.”

I wonder what you
and I would say to that probe?
The perfect answer perhaps …
“I will do what needs doing
in that moment and time.
I will be a willing soul
offering what I have
with what I am capable.”

Lots to be done,
many hands are needed
on many fronts,

Some are noble tasks,
some are mundane 
and necessary.

What can we do 
in those moments?
