We Give Thanks For Poetry

Let us lift up our thoughts and prayers.
All that is holy, loving and true:
We give thanks for poetry,
for words that convey meaning and feeling.
We give thanks for poetry,
and for poems that don’t always rhyme.
We give thanks for poetry,
and for poets, like Robert Frost, Emily Dickenson and Maya Angelou.
We give thanks for poetry,
and for people who appreciate poetry.
We give thanks for poetry,
that helps us to see and understand.
Now and forevermore:
Let it be. So be it. And: Amen.
