🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Love is Enough

by

Love is Enough

William Morris

Love is enough: though the world be a-waning,
And the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining,
Though the skies be too dark for dim eyes to discover
The gold-cups and daisies fair blooming thereunder,
Though the hills be held shadows, and the sea a dark wonder,
And this day draw a veil over all deeds passed over,
Yet their hands shall not tremble, their feet shall not falter:
The void shall not weary, the fear shall not alter
These lips and these eyes of the loved and the lover.

“If a scene or a section gets the better of you and you still think you want it—bypass it and go on. When you have finished the whole you can come back to it and then you may find that the reason it gave trouble is because it didn’t belong there.” ~ John Steinbeck

    5. Yogurt – Yogurt is a wonderful item to start your day with. The live cultures can help trigger your body to fight diseases and also bad breath!

Make a smoothie and include yogurt, citrus fruit and almonds for an extra immune system boost this cold and flu season.

🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Enough

by

Enough

Sara Teasdale

It is enough for me by day
To walk the same bright earth with him;
Enough that over us by night
The same great roof of stars is dim.

I have no care to bind the wind
Or set a fetter on the sea—
It is enough to feel his love
Blow by like music over me.
