Life has loveliness to sell,
All beautiful and splendid things,
Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
Soaring fire that sways and sings,
And children's faces looking up
Holding wonder like a cup.
Life has loveliness to sell,
Music like a curve of gold,
Scent of pine trees in the rain,
Eyes that love you, arms that hold,
And for your spirit's still delight,
Holy thoughts that star the night.
Spend all you have for loveliness,
Buy it and never count the cost;
For one white singing hour of peace
Count many a year of strife well lost,
And for a breath of ecstasy
Give all you have been, or could be.

I love that poem - thanks for reminding me!!
One of my favorite poems. Nice post.
I love the poem....and the matching shirts.
The question is, Are you really watching Aladdin?
Yes!! I am on this kick lately where I just love watching Disney movies. They're like 50 cents at the thrift store I frequent.
And so the other night, Sunday I believe, I popped in Aladdin.
