SAPPINESS LIKE SYRUP
fire and ice do battle in our nation
politicking in a clash of thought
droughts of desperation
keep our havens burning
shoulder blizzards frozen white,
why can’t our weather get along?
where’s the rain to make us strong?
and warm quilts sewn with wrinkled hands?
if we strive to cross the arctic freeze:
will God stomp out impassioned southern fires,
melt northern snow, applaud a creation
of hands circling our united globe?
of this i dream! snowballs flung
with lighthearted smiles, fires baking
apple pies, sappiness like syrup.
