Thursday, April 29 is Poem in Your Pocket Day. Here’s the one I’ll be carrying:
‘Tis a gift to be simple,
‘Tis a gift to be free,
‘Tis a gift to come down
Where we ought to be
And when we find ourselves
In the place that’s right
‘Twill be in the valley
Of love and delight.
–Nineteenth-Century Shaker Hymn
