A SINGLE FLOWER
If I could choose a single gift
to give all mankind
I'd walk calmly to the backyard garden
where against the fence I'd find
a single flower, that grew
and bloomed in the spring
to wave in gentle breezes
and through its silence sing
the praises of the pure virtue, Love
and assure all men that there is good.
2022 Poem
