Lovely day here in Kent today.

This is how I'm spending my day sitting staring observing nature in my garden. Seen Foxy already today.

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 if, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare.

Have a good day all what ever you do.

I used to think it was a well known poet but it is by a Welsh poet W. H. Davies wrote it. I love my friend Google ! :)
