This is what I've learned - of sorrow
If not today, for sure tomorrow
Joy is wondrous bright though brief
yet will outweigh our sodden grief
Hearts that break are made like bone
to mend. Better that than hearts of stone
When you're young you get thing wrong
that's the way to grow up strong
The earth will turn without your care
So why not just stand and stare?
Why not find time to rhyme?
Bad poetry is not a crime
Remind yourself, as morning breaks
Only the dead make no mistakes
Dance to every song
Life is short, death is long
Thank you. I will read it whenever I am too scared to make a mistake.
