Words Of Optimism..

Let not grief Or hurt embitter Life which is so very brief: Can’t you see the glad sun glitter
On the leaf
And the stone ?
Can’t you hear the small bird twitter
Merrily, alone ?
Never be
Bruised or broken By life’s hollow misery,
Dark deeds done or harsh words spoken.
All men’s deeds and all men’s ex-pressions
Are as shadows which are done
When the sad heart wakes and heaves
To the joy of singing birds
And the hush of green-lit leaves
Under the white-climbing sun.
