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

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
