Life: A Haiku Series


Life brings many pains,
But better not to grieve them
Until tomorrow.

Wait for dawn to say
It is worth your tears to cry
For last night's sorrow.

Count the blessings giv'n
Whether they are yours or not
Those YOU give are best.

So hold your tears now
And you may find in awhile
Life's worth living yet.
