C'est la Vie
I have these nice poems today that I'd like to share with you all. I am not one that clings hard to poetic verses; nevertheless I do enjoy the subtle splendor of a good poem!
I think life can be a gigantic mess one minute but not to worry-- just as fast everything can come together very nicely; that isn't exactly the context of these poems --just my own little insight ;) Here they are!
-- Enjoy my chickadees(^-^)
My heart leaps up when I beholdA Rainbow in the sky:So was it when my life began;So is it now I am a man;So be it when I shall grow old,Or let me die!The Child is father of the man;And I could wish my days to beBound each to each by natural piety.-
W.WordsworthMY FAVORITE OF THE THREE:)Once in a golden hourI cast to earth a seed.Up there came a flower,The people said, a weed.To and fro they wentThro' my garden bower,And muttering discontentCursed me and my flower.Then it grew so tallIt wore a crown of light,But thieves from o'er the wallStole the seed by night.Sow'd it far and wideBy every town and tower,Till all the people cried,"Splendid is the flower!"Read my little fable:He that runs may read.Most can raise the flowers now,For all have got the seed.And some are pretty enough,And some are poor indeed;And now again the peopleCall it but a weed.-A. L. TennysonMy life closed twice before its close;
It yet remains to see If Immortality unveil
A third event to me,So huge, so hopeless to conceive,
As these that twice befell.
Parting is all we know of heaven,
And all we need of hell.
