Calling

Buechner said that calling is found
“Where your deep gladness
And the world’s deep hunger
Meet.”

At the end of a week or so where I have
Rejoiced in fellowship
As many hours as a full-time job,
I wonder.

I have found my deep gladness.
But is it really a calling to feed French fries
To my friends?

Does that count?
Isn’t there some call to welcome the lame
And pathetic?

I’d be content to carry on with my
Exuberant hospitality,
But I note the warning:

Do not even sinners do that?
