☀Sunlit Sunday: Season 2, Week #2

I was surprised and delighted with the turn-out at last week's ☀Sunlit Sunday. It seems many of us are ready to seek out something sunny at the beginning of this year.

Sunlight was at a premium in my area, but I did take a few photos while it swung by for a quick visit. Eggs, the start of something new, seemed like an appropriate subject.

Looking at these photos reminded me of a poem I first read decades ago. I pulled the book off the shelf to find it and share it with you.

Egg

Reader, in your hand you hold 

A silver case, a box of gold

I have no door, however small,

Unless you pierce my tender wall,

And there's no skill in healing then

Shall ever make me whole again.

Show pity, Reader, for my plight:

Let be, or else consume me quite.
