Silent Shore

In life, too quickly, too soon 
                  we hate;
  in dying, we pause, then love 
                  too late.


 Although maybe soon the wound 
                 will heal,
the hurt takes time, the pain's just 
                 too real.


   Take note, while the waves do 
               fiercely roar,
     the wavelets softly woo the 
                silent shore!
