R-LEE’S SAGA love the land as those who came before you loved

R-lee loved the land as a youth. He was surrounded by animals and a dog named-peaches.

maybe someday he would echo the words of the English poet.

CXVIII. The Quiet Life
 

HAPPY the man whose wish and care  
A few paternal acres bound,  
Content to breathe his native air  
                In his own ground.  
  
Whose herds with milk, whose fields with bread,          5
Whose flocks supply him with attire;  
Whose trees in summer yield him shade,  
                In winter fire.  
  
Blest who can unconcern’dly find  
Hours, days, and years slide soft away   10
In health of body, peace of mind,  
                Quiet by day,  
  
Sound sleep by night; study and ease  
Together mixt, sweet recreation,  
And innocence, which most does please   15
                With meditation.  
  
Thus let me live, unseen, unknown;  
Thus unlamented let me die;  
Steal from the world, and not a stone  
                Tell where I lie.   20
 

R-lee  a boy of dreams and high aspiations.
