In honor of April being 2022 National Poetry Month

 

April 22, 2022
Dear Residents - 
 
In honor of April being 2022 National Poetry Month, I leave you with the Orangetown Poet Laureate's words:
 
With Poet's Pen
 
With poet's pen this quest to write
Of the eternal now be shadow or light
The dark bears not demise
For the Sun in glory does rise
Within the depths of night, stars in brilliant array
In PRESENCE we greet the dawning of a new day 
Let us hold resolve in chambers of our heart 
From which love ever bears its supernal start
Let us see our differences with a vision newly clear
Hold to life's blessings of breath and BEING dear 
We the deciders, the change makers are to claim 
TRUTH, HARMONY, GRACE, PEACE in GOD's name.
