Here is a poem from a Rock River Times favorite, Carol Fox. Carol is a retired state librarian and educator who enjoys her family, especially her grandchild. She is a member of the Wednesday Writers and a singer with the Unitarian choir.
This is a great poem to finish a year or start a new one. It is inspirational, soothing, candid and interesting. No matter how you celebrate the holiday season, something in this poem is sure to stir you.
We Are This Earth
Thankful for the rising sun
The mystic moon
This Squinkey bubble planet
That squeezes us, protects us,
Feeds us, clothes us
Thankful for family
Brusque, brisk and brash
Kind, curious, creative
The towering talents
The tortured
The fragile
The persistent
The overindulgent
The farmers
The settlers
The coal miners
The mill workers
The immigrants
Old King Cole
And the native souls
We are this earth
We are its spirit
And for its blessings
We must EVER be REJOICINGLY thankful
