Poem of the Month

never let go

that which is 
beyond our control 
is likely to remain so:

what falls to us 
is to continue to look for 
any opportunity to employ 
our artistry and humanity 
to bring beauty
into this weary world. 

when i die, it will be 
with a psalm on my lips, 
love in my heart, 
gratitude in my soul, 
and a spirit attuned to hope. 

these things can never be taken from us 
unless we release them—

i am one 
     who will never 
                      let 
                           go.
