Trees..by Joyce Kilmer

When I think of creativity I think of the poem "Trees" by Joyce Kilmer.
Staring outside of his window Kilmer was inspired by the tree's beauty and put his thoughts on paper.
A line that mesmerizes me is "Poems were made by you and me..but only God can make a tree."
And therefore, I look around my garden. I look at  the roses, my gardenia bush, my trees and think that I sometimes bash my head figuratively and wonder why I cannot be inspired at the moment to write something worthy.  And then I remember..Joyce Kilmer's poem and say a prayer of gratitude for the beauty around me and feel refreshed enough to maybe write something that might be inspirational or worthy of a second glance.
