Poem for the country in these hard times

[Tom Hendricks]

Poem for the country in these hard times -

from the Musea Poetry issue from 2007

***

Bless the minnow, bless the whale

Bless the hardy, bless the frail

Bless the straight, bless the turn

Bless the world from stem to stern

Bless the sky and all that's in it

Bless the start and bless the finish.

(Inspired by "The Robin's Song, an Old English Rhyme)***
