Food for thought

The sleep that flits on the baby's eyes- does anyone know where it comes from?
Yes, there is a rumour that it is dwelling where, in the fairy villafe among shadows of the forest dimly lit with glow-worms, there hang two timid buds of enchantment.From there it comes to kiss baby's eyes.

The smile that flickers on baby's lips when he sleeps- does anyone know where it was born? Yes,there is a rumour that a young pale beam of a crescent moon touched the edge of a vanishing autumn cloud, and there the smile was first born in the dream of a dew-washed morning- the smile that flickers on the baby's lips when he sleeps.

The sweet, soft freshness that blooms on baby's limbs- does anyone know where it comes from? Yes, when the mother was a young girl it lay pervading her heart in tender and silent mystery of love- the sweet,soft freshness that has bloomed on the baby's limbs.
-Rabindranath Tagore , Gitanjali ( Nobel Prize Winner for Literature,1913)

He never ceases to inspire me..
