water poem

[Beena]

thank u all for a beautiful row this morning..it was like rowing through silk!...and the poetry on water

i am no great poet..but as its national poetry day...i d like to share this poem that someone brought to my attention..


What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this is if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

Toasty, heartwarming inspirational stuff Beena.
What a lovely thought.
Thank you, best
