For You There Will Be Always Gifts of Beauty

August 8, 2017

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. This week’s theme is artistic creativity.

Today’s poem is a number poem about how the gift of creativity affects one’s life.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

For you there will be always gifts of beauty,
Opening a window onto Heaven,
Restoring you to innocence and joy.
Though sorrow is for everyone a given,
Yours will be a store you will employ.

So does one blend one’s blessings with one’s duty.
If one has gifts, one by those gifts is driven,
Xerophyte no desert can destroy.
