Tomorrow’s the last days of this book launch! Tomorrow, I reveal the final book trailer. Tomorrow, I let you run with it from here. But today, I share a poem brimming with gladness. Psalm 118:24 inspired me to write this poem and it is a fitting poem to celebrate the past nine days! Enjoy.

“I Cannot Stop My Singing Heart” from Sojourner Songs: Poems
read by Gary Leonard

I cannot stop my singing heart
today
it leapt out of bed
into a day
new-graced

smell the crushed grass
beneath these feet
pine pollen
feel
wind stroke
like a daughter’s fingers
on my face

I can’t decide
which is decked more glamorously
the poplar
or the aspen
groves
or the finch
splashing
along the rocky shore
glancing up
to measure my intent
and welcome
me
into the dance

like you my love
dappled
freckled fair
priceless pearl
bright-eyed beloved

today
is God-made
I cannot stop this singing heart
