How Many Poems/Can I Make Of/ These Flowers And Trees? Poem by Shalom Freedman

HOW MANY POEMS/ CAN I MAKE/ OF THESE FLOWERS AND TREES? /


How many poems
Can I make
Of these flowers and trees?
How many times
Can I say
‘The Beauty I see with my eyes
has no words for it.’?
How many times
Can I write and write,
‘The wonder of joy of this life
Fills my soul with gratitude and Awe’?
How many times can I thank God?

Everyday-
For the rest of my life-
As long as I have eyes and mind and words and heart.
Every day.
