Every Day is a Poetry Day
A blade of grass,
A falling leaf.
A breaking wave,
A tree lined street.
A newborn's cry,
A wizened, aging smile.
A consoling hug,
A twinkle in the eye.
A piano note,
A child's happy laugh.
A crack of thunder,
A fire that crackles, sparks.
A book page turns,
A school bell rings.
A teacher smiles,
A student's at last, ah! now I get it, understanding.
A collective joy,
A sublimely struck goal.
A raucous celebration with strangers,
A happy victory walk home.
A silent moment,
A well tended grave.
A forever, restful peace.
A time to be brave.
A time for quiet,
A time to reflect,
appreciate, give thanks, be kind,
be grateful, meditate, celebrate,
sing, dance or pray.
A time for poetry,
Every single day.
