What if you slept?
And what if in your sleep, you dreamed?
And what if in your dream,
you went to Heaven?
And there, plucked a strange
and beautiful flower?
And, what if, when you awoke
you had the flower in your hand?
~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge
summer’s light

Is it so small a thing
To have enjoy’d the sun,
To have lived light in the spring,
To have loved, to have thought, to have done;
~ Matthew Arnold
mama and newborn poppy
Woman, how divine your mission
Here upon our natal sod!
Keep, oh, keep the young heart open
Always to the breath of God!
All true trophies of the ages
Are from mother-love impearled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.
