Gratitude Poem
 
Many wonderous things happened
To me
But
Not by me. – Rev. Col.(RET) George W. Alexander US Army

I received many gifts
Although I did not know them
By their correct names
At the time of
Their offering.

Take this poem

I so wish that she were mine
But she arrived
Whole
Grown
And said like (
Mrs. Green in Montclair High School English class
)

“now,
you write…”

Below, see and hear Jesse read this poem.
