Ne'er saw I, never felt a calm so deep!
The river glideth at it's own sweet will:
Dear God! The very houses seem asleep;
And all that mighty heart is lying still. ~ composed by William Wordsworth upon Westminster Bridge, 9/03/1802
"The best portion of a good man's life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love." ~ William Wordsworth

Fantastic work Angela, and oh how I love the very last two lines of the poem! So true! But those nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love never to unnoticed by our Lord. He even tells us that there is nothing more important in this short life than love. v/f
