THE VIEW FROM ABOVE







I will be the gladdest thing

Under the sun...





I will touch a hundred flowers

And not pick one...






I will look at cliffs...






And clouds...

With quiet eyes...






Watch the wind bow down the grass...






And the grass rise...






And when lights begin to show

Up from the town...

I will mark which must be mine,

And then start down!

Edna St. Vincent Millay






I hope you enjoyed the view from above....Judy


I am sharing the view today with:

  3. Hi, Judy...love this pretty post...and love the lighted porch, too.
    I just bought some lights to put on my porch but haven't strung them yet. Mr. Sweet rolls his eyes when I mention it. :)) MEN...!! They just don't get it.
