I went outside to do some errands with Abba about half an hour ago, and it was so warm! Isn't it supposed to be winter??? On my school bus, on the way to Jerusalem, I see all these colorful flowers and it makes me smile! Speaking of flowers... Have you read the poem 'Daffodils' by William Wordsworth?? Here it is (please read it as if I am reading it dramatically):
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling leaves in glee;
A poet could not be but gay,
In such a jocund company!
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
So, what do you think? I really like it. We had homework to find a poem about nature, and since I really like this poem, I brought it and read it to the class with feelin'.
Good Shabbos!
