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
