The Bestest

 This is a portrait of Carl Sandburg.  The artist is A. Smith.  I was reading his poetry.  Sandburg can be anything: serious, funny, formal, free wheeling and even song.  I was in the mood for humor, today.


The best preacher is the heart,

The best teacher is time.
The best book is the world.
The best friend is God.
      WE, THE PEOPLE.
Carl Sandburg
