A Soul Full

hardship hones the soul
    
                                tenderness soothes the sorrow

                                         evenly balanced

As I replied to someone else: "You can't have one without the other"....from a song in the 1950's. :)Paulette

Short and profound. We need both hardship and tenderness

I enjoyed reading your incredible haiku, Paulette. Indeed, balance things, joy, sadness, happiness, sorrow, poor, wealth, hardship, and tenderness. Hugs
