She Walks In Beauty……

Emma just received this from her Julian and his Mom and Dad. I am going to have it framed for Emma. How touching.
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow’d to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair’d the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o,er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
Lord Byron
Wow is all I can say……………..
Enjoy your Sunday, Cat, Chaps and Emma

What a beautiful sentiment, and it so reminds me of our sweet Emma.
Wow is right.
