A poor life

A poor life
The Sunday Challenge = Poem

Something a little different this week, I'm giving you a little poem by a welsh poet W.H Davies

It's short, but has plenty of imagery you can pick out to make an image that fits the poem.

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 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 stare.

Very nice...and thought-provoking too. I think that most of us must get old enough to learn this one. Definitely the case for me! :)
