A BETTER ATTITUDE!

Finally, the malaise that I have been feeling has passed. I think the sunshine this week has had a lot to do with feeling better. Today I baked cookies, finished the laundry and even did a bit of house cleaning. In the process I straightened out my top dresser drawer and found a charming little pink book that my husband had given me many years ago. So my blog this posting is to share with you the contents.

A poem called "For You with Love," by Louis Utermeyer

Love is the whisper of earth
When the stars pale
And the dawn-winds hail
A new days birth . . . .

The laughing abandon,
The shining glee
Of the fountain's leap
And the headlong sweep
Of the sea . . . .

Love is the memory
Time cannot kill,
The cherished tune
Gay and absurd . . .
And the music unheard

The silence that trembles
And seems to fill
The heart when the song
Of bird
Is still . . . .

Love is God's plenty . . .
An endless measure
Of gifts that descend
In sun and in shower
On mountain and plain . . .
The quickening rain,
And the storied treasure
At the rainbow's end . . .

Love is the coming alive
Of a golden bush
That cannot wait for spring
Blossoms that bring
Joy to the day
And honey to the hive . . .

The call of the hills
and the answering ocean
When everything's a maze
and a blaze
of color and motion . . .
Torrents of wonder, of waves,
an wings . . . .
And the whole sky sings . . .

But first and last . . .
Time present, time future,
and time past . . .
Past all belief and thinking of . . .
Earth beneath
and heaven above

Beginning and ending . . .
Forever new . . .
LOVE IS YOU . . .

Be sure to tell you family how much you love them TODAY - tomorrow may be to late.
