Thank you for this most amazing Day

I'm not religious but this poem really makes me smile. I find it's best read out loud with a huge grin plastered on your face. Or at least, if you aren't smiling when you start, I hope that you'll be grinning when you're done reading....!


i thank you God for most this amazing

I thank you God for most this amazing
day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes

(I who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun’s birthday; this is the birth
day of life and love and wings: and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)

how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any- lifted from the no
of all nothing – human merely being
doubt unimaginably You?

(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)

e.e. cummings
