Notes About The Poem

A Psalm For Life

All is copacetic...
on the green side of the grass.
Thank heavens! God is good!
There are much too many beautiful sunsets to feast eyes on
at the close of dawn. 
God invites all and sundry
to taste life's nectar
before the hummingbirds and honeybees
and to hear robins tweet merry hosannas!
How wonderful to be among the living!
And live I will...until the day I cease
breathing air into my lungs!
Ain't life just grand?
