Life is too short to be spent <br />griping about the past, <br />things you don't have, <br />places you haven't seen, <br />things you haven't done. <br /> <br />Life is too short to be spent <br />holding grievances against another, <br />finding fault in your brother, <br />counting the wrongs done on you. <br /> <br />Life is just long enough <br />to enjoy the beauty of a sunrise <br />the smell of wet earth <br />and the sound of laughter <br />after a long day's work. <br /> <br />Life is just long enough <br />to practice compassion and generosity, <br />to comfort the grieving, <br />to lend strength to the fainthearted, <br />and direction to the lost.<br /><br />Tricia Mae Chua<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/long-life-life-is-too-short-but-just-long-enough/
