There should have been more poems of Gratitude and Joy <br />Too much has been Sadness and Despair- <br />There should have been more poems of other people <br />And not so much of myself - <br />There should have been more metaphor <br />And less one- dimensional statement- <br /> <br />There should have been more Poetry in my Poetry <br />And more Inspiration and Blessing and Love- <br />Small worry and anxiety have been too much- <br />Oh the Beauty and the Goodness <br />I have been given in Life, <br />And how I have not known how to write it well enough.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/there-should-have-been-more-poems-of-gratitude-and-joy/
