Sunshine and roses and poppyseeds, <br />Moonlight and starbright and little leaves, <br />Music entwined in vacant tapestry, <br />Warm touch, kind eyes, all of it for free. <br /> <br />Do not let the years go by <br />Never looking to the sky, <br />The world is beauty and so why <br />Should we ever turn a blind eye. <br /> <br />Life is all we'll ever know, <br />Amidst the rain, the sleet and all the snow, <br />But all that water makes things grow, <br />And after that we'll have a thing to show.<br /><br />Mathew Lewis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-thing-to-show/
