By Robert Louis Stevenson
I saw you toss the kites on high
And Blow the birds about the sky,
And all around I heard you pass,
Like ladies skirts across the grass-
O wind, a blowing all day long,
O wind, that sings so loud a song!
I saw the different things you did,
But you always you yourself you hid.
I felt you push, I heard you call,
I could not see yourself at all-
O wind, a-blowing all day long,
O wind, that sings so loud a song!
O you that are so strong and cold,
O blower are you young or old?
Are you a beast of field and tree,
Or just a stronger child than me?
O wind a-blowing all day long,
O wind, that sings so loud a song!
"Teach me your way, O Lord and
I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.
I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever." Psalm 86:11-12

It's always fun to come and visit 'cause there's always something happening over at the Watts' place ; )
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.
Such a neat post combining great photos with the wind poem. Nice visiting with your family again :)
ReplyDeleteps you asked in a comment on my blog if my crocheted beanies were available in girls sizes ~ they are, I just don't have any children that age to model them for me to post pictures.
Dear Heather,
ReplyDeleteI just love the nature photos with the poem! Seeing the animals living around you makes them more real, somehow. Watching nature shows makes it seem like Florida is another world altogether!
Love,
