'It's a Condition'

      

"To be a poet is a condition, not a profession." - Robert Frost

 

            Born in California in 1874, Frost spent most of his life in New England and is recognized as one of the world's greatest poets.  He said visitors loved New England in the Fall for its brilliant colors, but he loved it year-around and especially for its summer beauty.  For Saturday's Poem here is his very brief,

                A Summer Sunday

''He bestows summer on us and escapes
Before our realizing what we have
To thank him for. He doesn't want our thanks.''
