Now when I take my morning walk, I see green buds on the trees and bright flowers in the lawns.
In his poem “This Amazing Day,” e.e. cummings says thank you for this beauty.
i thank You God for most this amazing
day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes.
I found this poem in a splendid children’s book, one that I hadn’t opened for years. I’ll share another one of the poems from This Amazing Word, which was compiled by Lois Rock, in our next blog post.
