* lead a brave life *
Your tears for what could have been
Must be leavened by what became
Days of reflection despairing
Should not set aside days of caring
No tree ever grows truly straight
Neither path direct takes Fate
Things for better may have fallen
Or worse may have come calling
Other lives in perfection seem
Symmetry of a glorious dream
Unless lived you cannot see
What is or ever shall be
Embrace moments precious close
Use experience for joy or woe
Be constant ever living grow
These tears you shed are real
Allow them to water your zeal
Fertilise and nourish life you crave
Let life not see you timid ever onward be brave.
