Carl Reiner Schultz Poems

Oh God of all the suffering and pain,
Are you envious to have given us the freedom of choice
And the feelings of relief?
The bounty of treasure in life, in living and learning?
...

It was an evening when the sun had passed behind the hill
But a cloud stood straight above
And cast the sun yet through the leaves,
And lit the sky with an amber glow
...

A seed has fallen to the ground
From an apple that sustained a hungry bite
I could have cast it out of destiny to grow
Instead the beauty I wanted to behold
...
