Fairytale
Afternoon on a Hill
I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.
I will look at cliffs and clouds
With quiet eyes,
Watch the wind bow down the grass,
and the grass rise.
And when lights begin to show
Up from the town,
I will mark which must be mine,
And then start down!

Noelle!! I too would be the gladdest thing under the sun in such a dignified and serene place which is also so vibrant and energetic.

These lines speak so much for resilience. I loved it.
Besides the poem is so full of positivity
and direction in every verse.
Lovely verse and a very heartening effect of the picture.
You really are such a wonderful person at heart!!
