A day off and I seem to have been rushing round all day, the only chance I got to sit and relax was at lunch time and even that was working! Well Trade Union if that counts ;-) So now I am hoping for a relaxing weekend. But first I am off out visiting...
For SkyWatch Friday.
Leisure
What is this life if, full of care,
We have not 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 star.
