A Thought for Today

Imagination always deserves a hearing.

FROM the¨BOOKS

SANTA TO SANTA
(the 1981 Christmas Card)

To each woman
and each man
who live and run
on God’s green ground
all birds that float
within His perfect sky
and every creature
scrambling, standing, loping,
                                 turning
on or deep within His earth –
and out upon his many seas,
a wish for their protection
      for still another year.

And each to each
within their circle
                  and their species
love enough to see them through
their deepest darkest nights.
