In the Morning of Life
by Thomas MooreIn the morning of life, when its cares are unknown,
And its pleasures in all their new lustre begin,
When we live in a bright-beaming world of our own,
And the light that surrounds us is all from within;
Oh 'tis not, believe me, in that happy time
We can love, as in hours of less transport we may; —
Of our smiles, of our hopes, 'tis the gay sunny prime,
But affection is truest when these fade away.
When we see the first glory of youth pass us by,
Like a leaf on the stream that will never return,
When our cup, which had sparkled with pleasure so high,
First tastes of the other, the dark-flowing urn;
Then, then in the time when affection holds sway
With a depth and a tenderness joy never knew;
Love, nursed among pleasures, is faithless as they,
But the love born of Sorrow, like Sorrow, is true.
In climes full of sunshine, though splendid the flowers,
Their sighs have no freshness, their odour no worth;
\‘Tis the cloud and the mist of our own Isle of showers
That call the rich spirit of fragrancy forth.
So it is not \‘mid splendour, prosperity, mirth,
That the depth of Love's generous spirit appears;
To the sunshine of smiles it may first owe its birth,
But the soul of its sweetness is drawn out by tears.
We need to celebrate the little things in life, now more than ever! And luckily there is a lot of little good things to celebrate: Kellogg’s dropped mermaid, unicorn, and birthday cake waffles! This might not come as a huge surprise given just how trendy and popular colorful unicorn- and mermaid-inspired things are pretty much everywhere. The brand quietly released the sugar-rush-waiting-to-happen breakfast. The Unicorn Waffles are bright pink and taste like cotton candy, while the Mermaid Waffles are teal and blue-raspberry-flavored. But the sweetness overload doesn’t stop there — Kellogg’s also recently dropped brand-new Birthday Cake Waffles, which are made with yellow cake and rainbow sprinkles. Yeah, we’ll take one of each! Kellogg’s hasn’t yet shared any official information about these three releases, but they’ve all been spotted at a few grocery stores recently, including Albertsons, Safeway, and Vons. Plus, each item currently has a product page on the Walmart website, so that may be a sign they’ll be popping up on more store shelves soon. Until then, prepare yourselves and your pantry!
