Although Al Purdy was writing about one ill person and a sense of helplessness, the lesson I choose to take from this part of the larger poem is universal and particularly fits today: we have a responsibility to care for each other, be present and aware of pain and suffering, and not let go of issues that affect our most vulnerable fellow humans.

But today is a good day! Lots of love to all the dad's out there!

Sometimes referred to as International Chocolate Day and celebrated since 2009.
