No time to stand and stare..

Life's moving fast... too fast i must say...
The mother of all problems - No time!!

It reminds me of a poem by W.H.Davies...
And i wonder... how could he have possibly penned those lines..
So apt and relevant today...
He wrote it much before its times..

I think we should all read this sonnet every once in a while..

I m putting it up... for all of you'll who visit this blog..

Leisure

- W.H.Davies

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.

A very poor life indeed !!
