As I was Telling

be thankful for the good you have

As I was telling what I was feeling, there came upon you a sadness quite grim. Was then that I saw what you were shielding. Your heart is a house you locked from within.

❝ Your heart is a house you locked from within.

Alas, young love-lost you’ve paid the high cost of having shared all with little return. Yet better to lose than never to love. No pain no pleasure, a hard lesson learned.

❝ No pain no pleasure, a hard lesson learned.

No more is life fair than is the weather, so make the most of what falls to your lot. Don’t try to balance every poor measure. Be thankful for the good that you’ve got.

❝ Be thankful for the good things you’ve got.
