what a Wonderful, deep and moving poem! All the miserable, miseries of life and this world are with painful exactitude projected And Then that last stanza evokes all that gives hope and keeps us alive 'Here's to Ode, to Joy, To the music in all of us, To the poetry of the Soul, To Love and Peace in the world So very true and joyous and great. Made me cry Good poets always seem to redeem our sins, one way or another. Congratulation for an outstanding piece.
Thank you, Sandra for the very moving feedback. I am pleased that the poem evoked such a response in you. The poem's title comes from a toast that my music collaborator now uses most of the time. He came up with it after having experienced far too many tragedies in his life. I thought that it would make for a good title and theme for a poem, and he gave me permission to use it.
