(not sure - possible repost) Soft summer rains Day-Lilies glowing Butterflies swarming Little birds crowing Black-eyed Susans The smiles of babies First solid food No ifs, buts or maybes Baby's first tooth And first steps taken All these and more Like first words spoken A glass of iced tea a hot summer's evening The buzzing of bees To watch the sun leaving A hand reaching out Shooting stars in the night An "I love you" smile Soft eyes in moonlight God answering Prayers Warm fingers clasping Climbing the stairs When it's your cheeks they're grasping Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes. ~ Chinese Proverb ~ |

Wonderful mood Bill very warm and relaxing...very good my friend as usual.....take care The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

Bill--Wonderful sentiments and poem! In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) |
