Priority

[Friends just call me Ross]

This poem has always held a special place in my heart.

I finally decided to find some photos for it:

 

Priorities

By Stanley Kenney

 

Take time to smell the lilacs

 

And feel the warm, bright sun

    

 

Take time to look at rainbows

 

Don't wait til work is done.

 

There'll always be a cobweb

  

 

Some fingerprints

 

Or rust

 

Some weeds to pull

 

A lawn to mow

 

And something gathering dust.

      

 

We must remember lilacs bloom just once a year

       

 

And you can see a rainbow only when it's here.

I think Mr. Kenney must have had Job 37:14 in mind when he wrote that.

Quote

"...Stop and consider carefully the wonderful works of God." --Job 37:14

Ross, you do find the BEST pics! Simply awe-inspiring!  The poem was thought-provoking in its simpleness.
