Short Poems - Life

Life is given to us,
we earn it by giving it.

~

Let the dead have the immortality of fame,
but the living the immortality of love.

~

Life's errors cry for the merciful beauty
that can modulate their isolation into a
harmony with the whole.

~

Life, like a child, laughs,
shaking its rattle of death as it runs.

-         Tagore
