Time is a wonderful thief who steals everything from us? <br />Shining spring comes through the fallen leaves <br />And the willy-nilly flowers bloom merrily. <br />Famous birds sing and the deep rivers flow quietly. <br />The tricky life begins again and I write on the shifting sands; <br />'My carefree hidden wise Master, please do not pull this miraculous season away until I finish the tiresome journey.' <br /> <br />[ * My love has been the poem I would have writ <br />But I could not both live and utter it.] <br />-Henry.David.Thoreau- <br />American,1817-1862 <br /> <br />Dedication to my childhood hero ' Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid Star' deceased Paul.Newman<br /><br />nimal dunuhinga<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-bookmark-as-a-present-for-a-departing-friend/
