A humanitarian heart
has a hard time
saying no to the needy.
At the expense of a person's sanity,
no's a serious word.
Knowing when to say it,
how to give a gracious negation.
Learning how to turn
a "no" to a "maybe later."
And a "maybe later" to a "no."
The importance;
of a break,
of a breath,
a nap,
a nifty book.
A humanitarian heart
needs itself most.
