You cannot pay
a flower
to smile
a flower
to smile
The clouds
cannot be bribed
to part.
Sunlight is freely
healing all hearts
Golden moments
cannot be saved
in a bank
Final moment of
glory?
No charge.
“As the valley
gives height to
the mountain,
so can sorrow
give meaning to
pleasure;
as the well
is the source
of the fountain,
deep adversity
can be a
treasure.”
