A Walk in the meadows..

Not very often that I have abundant time to walk in the garden without haste. At the beginning of spring, flowers are about to be in bloom, in times of joy and cheerfulness. When the weather is warm, mild and gentle, nothing is more pleasant than walking in the meadows. Seeing arrays of spring flowers, hearing the lovely voices of chirping birds.

A Prayer In Spring

Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers to-day; And give us not to think so far away As the uncertain harvest; keep us here All simply in the springing of the year.

Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white, Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night; And make us happy in the happy bees, The swarm dilating round the perfect trees.

And make us happy in the darting bird That suddenly above the bees is heard, The meteor that thrusts in with needle bill, And off a blossom in mid air stands still.

For this is love and nothing else is love, The which it is reserved for God above To sanctify to what far ends He will, But which it only needs that we fulfil. Robert Frost
