I think I will share it with the teachers I am working with this year. Maybe they even have other pieces of literature they could pair this poem with. Thanks for sharing it.Carol Varsalonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589714711155938528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17019672.post-62315897062110088942018-09-08T18:09:45.443-05:002018-09-08T18:09:45.443-05:00It IS a tiny sermon....and could become a meditati...It IS a tiny sermon....and could become a meditation to repeat.

And I have to credit Poets.org for helping me find many gems that are in the public domain. <br /><br />Brenda, I found it at Poets.org.

I "lost" another poem (can't remember if it's a Jane Kenyon or what) that says something about the hour at the end of day that shows a person's character when they're weary and still able to summon that indomitable will -- someday I'll find it -- but it would work with this, too. Thanks for continuing to find gems in the public domain! I am always alarmed by what we lose, in poetry, if we don't keep trying to bring it to light and share it. tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17019672.post-17780397652940694372018-09-07T12:04:34.045-05:002018-09-07T12:04:34.045-05:00I do not know him, either.
