I will tell the stars
how beautiful they are
in the Night Sky.
I will thank the Moon
for making children’s dreams
definitely possible.
In a world of misery
I will try to speak
the language of poetry,
and if I can’t keep my
new year’s resolutions
I will take a nap
under the Living Tree
then I will smile gently
to the Summer clouds.
