A Rosy Day




A rose is a rose is a rose........people say these flowers convey so many things without speaking anything. We went to a "Rose Show" this weekend. After seeing the amazing sight of different colors of roses, an unheard sound of music, a peaceful and soothing one began to play in my mind. Can't express in words about that wonderful feeling. We people became so busy with the day to day activities and mundane jobs that we tend to forget about these small happy things which GOD has gifted us. Thinking about all this reminded me the lines of William Henry Davies. How true!!!

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