A poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom.
- Robert Frost
This quotation from Frost, while about an ideal template for a poem, struck me as an ideal template for life. Often those despised at birth, die in folly, in youth, thier lives not making a metaphirical poem.
To begin in delight and end in wisdom,
Is the aim of every man,
So it was throughout the years
Right from when time began.
Begin in delight when you are born,
End in death at age when wise,
Alas, too many die young and stupid,
And more their birth others despise!
Such is the tragedy of our world...
Makes it look as if all is lost,
If only all in our world could live
The truth in the words of Frost.
