A poem i have read first in class 3

I first came across this poem in std 3 [1992/93] . I am getting to realise its meaning today...

"LEISURE"

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

By Wm. Henry Davies.

The happiest things in life ....

the happiest things these days....

the breeze at Marine drive in the evening
eating a fresh strawberry ice cream at K Rustoms
drinking a pint of beer after jogging for what seems long enough
calling up buddies at 3 am
catching a favourite song on the radio after ages
getting a mail from a long lost friend
experiencing foodie heaven at nariman point for Rs 19 a head

... the best things in life these days aint expensive
