Your Art Matters

Your Art Matters

This morning I picked up the paper,

Usually I read the financial section,

But instead I took a brief moment

To see the who’s who in the cosmopolitan

Of the New York Times,

I must say I have found a lot of things,

Especially on what’s happening

In the world of literature and modern art,

Sculptures and new books being released,

I have spotted that the Jewish Art centre

Is shifting identity,

The Judah L Magnes Museum has

Reopened as the Magnes Collection

Of Jewish Art and life,

And is also now part of the library

At the University of California, Berkeley.

I am so delighted that art hasn’t died yet,

Those historic monuments can be carried

Through generation after generation.

We stand to know that Art does matter,

That whatever we do in this life,

That our creativity will never not

Be outnumbered that Art is timeless.
