Perspectives

A symphony’s no symphony if it is never heard A poem is no poem at all if it contains no word A rainy day’s a rainy day unless it brings some joy A prized possession’s valueless if treated as a toy A summer is not summer if winter frosts still fall A bitter heart’s no blessing for it is closed to all A vintage wine’s no wine to drink without a good bouquet A love that life has brought to grief must wait another day A harbour is no harbour if it is open sea A promise is no promise if not kept faithfully
