Let Us Praise

[PrinceMyshkin]

Let us praise
“That sheep may safely graze,”
by Bach, which played over the radio
this morning.
Let us praise
this morning;
--this world which is
so much more than any of us
deserves;
--children, who expect
and deserve so much of us;
--the mountains that hulk
in the far-off, the seas
that stretch
as far as the mind’s eye can see
and the heart can imagine.

Let us praise
this day,
this hour
--this blessed hour
that will never be again!
