What is "Zest for Life" ?

'Joie-de-vivre'
or 'zest for life'is the trait I treasure most in myself.That is what keeps me going even when the odds are against me or I'm fatigued. My positivism is contagious, and is a blessing.I'm a go-getter with a never say die outlook.
Hence this blog is my Zest for life!! :)

No time to stand and stare!


What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
