🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Crossing the Bar

Crossing the Bar

Alfred (Lord) Tennyson

 

Sunset and evening star,

   And one clear call for me!

And may there be no moaning of the bar,

   When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,

   Too full for sound and foam,

When that which drew from out the boundless deep

   Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,

   And after that the dark!

And may there be no sadness of farewell,

   When I embark;

For tho’ from out our bourne of Time and Place 

   The flood may bear me far,

I hope to see my Pilot face to face

   When I have crost the bar.

💡 Something to Think About

My grandmother traveled alone to the US from Italy at the age of 14. She spoke no English. She carried all she owned in a satchel. In her heart she carried faith, hope, and trust that all would work out. And, it did. God Bless you Nonna.

🍎 Today’s Health Question ~ Want a Great Tasting Fruit High in Vitamins C & E?

Mangoes are a Great Healthy Choice

“Mangoes are often considered an “exotic” fruit and so many people don’t include them in their summer diet. If that’s you, you’re missing out. Mangoes, which have a soft, sweet taste, contain high-levels of Vitamins C and E, iron, calcium and antioxidants that help lower cholesterol and blood pressure.”
