Today As A Present From God To Me Poem by RIC BASTASA

today
is God's present to me

a cue
from Habib
a present too
he accepts
from God today

we open the present
today
and we see the sun
and a garden
of flowers
and the wind
and the
sea and the mountain
inside it

we marvel

and then the clock strikes
the bio-rhythm
of hunger in our guts

it is breakfast time
and there is
still nothing
to eat on the table

today is just a present
and we still
have a lot of work to do
