The Better Way Poem by Shalom Freedman

THE BETTER WAY

The better way
Is the more beautiful one
It is the greener quieter one
The better way has a park in it
And all the yellows and reds and greens
And shades in between that trees and flowers give-

The better way is one
In which the world is at peace
And even the darkest sky has a hidden light in it-

The better way is longer and slower
And sometimes impossible to choose
But when one can
And one does
One enjoys the walk more.
