 A Prayer in Spring
Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year.
Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,
Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;
And make us happy in the happy bees,
The swarm dilating round the perfect trees.
And make us happy in the darting bird
That suddenly above the bees is heard,
The meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,
And off a blossom in mid air stands still.
For this is love and nothing else is love,
The which it is reserved for God above
To sanctify to what far ends He will,
But which it only needs that we fulfill.
~Robert Frost, "A Prayer in Spring"

April 12 - April 18: Great Minds, Great Laughs, Great Mammals, Great Quakes
Do you know what today is?
Riddle:
Though it can take years off a life
and affect the heart,
I can turn everything upside down while making it right.
I am deadly contagious;
Everyone wants to see me...
What is "it"? What am I?
