Meadow

Today ........
I lay down in the grass and felt the warm sun on my face
I listened to the birds and the whisper of the wind
And thought of my sons living far away ......


Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is no means a waste of time.
Sir John Lubbock.
