Although I&nbsp;have published this piece elsewhere, I&nbsp;thought I would post it here as well - spring is here, so I&nbsp;think the poem is fitting. Those of you who have read it, I&nbsp;would appreciate it if you could&nbsp; refrain from posting my personal info. out here - thanks! Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers to-day; And give us not to think so far away As the uncertain harvest; keep us here All simply in the springing of the year. Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white, Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night; And make us happy in the happy bees, The swarm dilating round the perfect trees. And make us happy in the darting bird That suddenly above the bees is heard, The meteor that thrusts in with needle bill, And off a blossom in mid air stands still. For this is love and nothing else is love, The which it is reserved for God above To sanctify to what far ends He will, But which it only needs that we fulfil.

I belive a poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom. Keep it up!

That was &quot;A Prayer in Spring&quot; by Robert Frost. (Witty comments, alternate and piggy!) Happy April Fools (if anyone was fooled at all haha) !!
