🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Meeting at Night
Meeting at Night
Robert Browning
THE gray sea and the long black land; And the yellow half-moon large and low; And the startled little waves that leap In fiery ringlets from their sleep, As I gain the cove with pushing prow, And quench its speed i' the slushy sand. Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach; Three fields to cross till a farm appears; A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch And blue spurt of a lighted match, And a voice less loud, thro' its joys and fears, Than the two hearts beating each to each!

🤗 A Better Life ~ The Sun’s Still Shining
There’s a cloudy south Texas sky this morning. The sun shines bright and the sky is blue on the other side of the clouds. The clouds will pass, the sun will shine bright, and I’ll dance through the day.
