Profound in its Simplicity
Profound in its Simplicity ©
(Dedicated to a local hero)
Gary Shulman, MS. Ed.

I strolled the pastoral streets one day
blissful in my gaze
Of trees more lovely than Rodin’s marble
Enjoying the beautiful maze
When there before appeared a house
More grand than Taj Mahal
Replete with flags of rainbows bright
And signs that beckoned all
To come and partake of charity
To eat if hunger’s pangs did sting
Profound in its simple clarity
My heart and soul did sing
To be so enveloped by kindness pure
A neighbor who get’s it right
Who gives to those in dire need
When just surviving is a daily fight
Yes angels do walk this earth so grand
And selflessly embrace those in need
With profound simplicity of charity
And eschew all ego and greed
When faced with such selfless love and giving
It gives hope that perhaps there’s a chance
For charity so profound in its simplicity
Is the elixir for humanity to advance
About this poem
