Maria Shriver has a huge passion for poetry and it really shows in this video I am sharing here. She challenged us - her Twitter followers - to read your favorite poem. As life and this month of April would have it - the post got set in my edit posts and I had it written out for you. However, given it is the final hour of "Poetry Month!" I am not lead to hop out of my warm cozy bed to YouTube my favorite poem. :)
So without much ado, I'll share Maria Shriver reading hers and you will find the favorite poem my father shared with my in junior high that I memorized for a project. Still with me today - just as he is!
And ironically, it's Arbor Day and I am sharing my "Trees!" poem. Things really do work out for good all the time! Enjoy!
Trees
by Joyce Kilmer
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
