A happy adventure with baby Rowan.

What is this life if, full of care...?

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 and 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.

(Leisure by W. H. Davies)

आयुष्याबद्द्लचे आपले म्हणणे रास्त आहे. निसर्गपासुन आपण खुप दुर जात चाललो आहोत.

आपला छोकरा गोड आहे.

Thank you! My son is fascinated by nature - leaves and twigs and bugs. Kids are amazing that way. And it's so rewarding to look at life through his eyes. Thanks for your comment.
