From the Abbot

I found the following verse in a journal that I keep in which I jot down my thoughts, poems, quotes, and sayings that I enjoy. While  usually note who the authors were of pieces I write down, there was no poet credited for this piece. I share it with you as I thought it was a good example of "Don't Know Mind":

I cannot promise that I'll always
Know the right words to comfort you
When you need support
But I'll try.

I cannot promise to always
Know what you're feeling
Or what will make you happy
But I'll always remember to ask.

I cannot promise to always
Know how to cheer you
When you are down
But I'll be there with a smile.

I cannot promise to always understand
Though I'll always give it my best
I cannot promise you many things
But I promise to be here for you today
Like there's no tomorrow......
