The Sun Sets Only to Rise Again!





"It is so small a thing to have enjoyed the sun, 
to have lived light in the spring,
to have loved, 
to have thought, 
to have done."
Mathew Arnold

  4. Thanks folks. Melted as we shoveled, cooled by our tears and thinking about jumping in the lake pictured here. Mike would have done that, stripped off his tie, shoes and suit and jumped in the lake in his skivvies or perhaps less. His widow appreciated me sharing this poem and the pic.
