How Little, How Much by John Herlihy We may ask how much, But we mean how little. No caress without touch, Our desires often belittle. How much was I hugged, But I know how little. How much was I loved, But I know how little. How much did I express, But I know how little. How much did I know, But I know how little. How much did I realize, But I know how little. How little I believed in myself, How much I wanted to. How little I believed in God, How much I wanted to. How little I trusted others, How much I wanted to. How little I ended up praying, How much I wanted to. How little I know and understood, How much I want to. Epilogue: Someone read this poem, Then wrote a comment. You believe all that, How much, how little stuff. I don’t believe, I know! How little, How much. With arms extended: This much! - - - - - Copyright © John Herlihy Friday 25`April 2025
