SOME MORE OF MY POETRY

HOW DO I LOVE HOCKEY 

How do I love hockey? Let me count the ways.

I love hockey to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach, when feeling sight of it

For the ends of idol Being and ideal Grace.

I love hockey to the level of everyday's

Most exciting need, by thrill and sports-highlight.

I love hockey freely, as men strive for Right;

I love hockey purely, as they turn from football.

I love hockey with a passion put to use

In my old griefs, and with my childhood's dreams.

I love hockey with a love I seemed to never lose

With my lost pucks, --- I love hockey with the breath of every stride,

Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,

I shall but love hockey better before death
